Cabeza de Vaca (whose name translates literally to "Head of Cow") sailed from Spain to North America in 1527. He was the first European explorer to explore what is now known as Texas and much of the southwest.

YES. I just read about him today in U.S history. Ok this should help!
Núñez Cabeza de Vaca would become a famous explorer of the New World and the first to step foot in what is now Texas. He would endure great punishments from both nature and man, but his experiences and writings ultimately would inspire other explorers.

Cabeza de Vaca? Doesn't that mean "head of beef"?
