22 TEXAS HISTORY STORIES
On April 1, 1536, they reached the town of San
Miguel, the first Spanish settlement they had seen in
nearly ten years. The governor of the town wept at
sight of them, and gave praise to God, who had preserved
them from so many dangers.
By the people of Texas the name of Cabeza de Vaca
should be held in remembrance as thit of the first
white man who ever passed through her territory.
Look at your map of Texas. From Galveston Island
draw a line down the coast to Matagorda Bay; then
northwest, following the course of the Colorado River
to San Saba; then west to the Pecos River; then to the
Rio Grande, near El Paso, and you will have traced out
the route of Cabeza.
