Christopher Columbus and Cabeza de Vaca were both well experienced explorers of the New World. They both traveled to the New World to find out what was out there and if what they would find, could help them and their country. In the narratives, “Letter of Discovery” by Christopher Columbus and Castaways by Alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca, they exemplified the overall environment of the New World. Each explorer had quite the experience within the New World and interactions with the natives but they were not quite the same. Columbus’ journey consisted of learning about the new land and obtain resources to bring back to his country. Cabeza de Vaca also wanted to find resources and goods but mainly wanted to explore the land and try to understand if it was possible to create a society alongside the natives. As they went into the New World, they had found new discoveries but their purpose of the journey lead them down paths that would give off two different perspectives.

Christopher Columbus was sponsored by King Ferdinand and Queen Isabel of Spain in 1492 to find an alternate trade route to Asia. The Reconquista was just wrapping up in Spain, and in hopes to continue the movement, the King and Queen encouraged Columbus to spread Christianity once he made landfall. Their goals for his voyage were similar to many at the time: find riches, spread faith, and claim any unconquered lands. Columbus was successful in all three, however, there is much controversy in the measures Columbus took to do so.

I believe that Columbus changed the name of the lands, because he thought it was his right to do so, which during this time many explorers did. Columbus seemed to think very highly of himself, and definitely classified himself as "better" then the Native Americans. He renamed two of these islands Isabella and Fernandina(Ferdinand), which are the people that supported his trip. By naming these islands after these Spanish monarchs, he was in his own way repaying them. "To the second I gave the name Isla de Santa Maria de Concepcion; to the third, Fernandina; to the fourth, Isabella; to the fifth, Isla Juana, and so to each one I gave a new name." Also naming an island after a religious character isn't shocking, they also played a major role in

Christopher Columbus “discovered” the New World, creating the search for profits determining the direction of Spanish exploration. In 1504, Hernando Cortes had sailed the Atlantic Ocean with 600 men, ten cannons, weapons and horses. They had come to fight and conquer “To justify their own imperialism, the rival Europeans elaborated upon some very real Spanish atrocities to craft the notorious persistent “Black Legend”: that the Spanish were uniquely cruel and far more brutal and destructive than other Europeans in their treatment of the Indians.

Different to the two readings prior, this passage brings readers along as people embark on a journey to various places to witness the beauty of plants that they would further like to study. Although it not bluntly expressed, the writer clearly feels that Columbus got credit for setting foot on land for the first time that was already inhabited by Indigenous people which looking at the information provided, seems true to an extent. The author dedicates some time in this piece discussing how settlers survived on their newly found land, stating, in the words of Bradford, that they did it “by robbing Indian houses and graves.” (42) In my opinion, the idea that settlers to this land did survive due to the pre-existing life here, being Indigenous
