The Narváez expedition was
a Spanish journey
of exploration and colonization started
in 1527 that intended to establish colonial settlements and
garrisons in Florida.[1] The
expedition was initially led by Pánfilo
de Narváez, who died in 1528. Many more people died as the
expedition traveled west along the explored Gulf Coast of
the present-day United
States and into the American
Southwest. Only four of the expedition's original members
survived, reaching Mexico City in 1536. These survivors were the
first known non-Native Americans to see the Mississippi
River, and to cross the Gulf of
Mexico and Texas.
