(4) YA In contrast to the more violent approach of his contemporaries, Spaniard Cabeza de Vaca, exploring parts of North and South America during the 1500s, attempted to peacefully interact and trade with the Native Americans he met. Paired with black-and-white maps, photos, and historical reproductions, the text is dense, but report writers will appreciate the details. Reading list, websites. Bib., ind.
