11 févr. 1527 - Spanish explorer Pánfilo de Narváez led a second expedition into Florida.
Description:
Numbering over 600, the expedition was a notorious failure. Alienating Florida's native cultures, the expedition was repeatedly attacked. By 1528, Narváez was dead, and the expedition was grounded due to hurricanes. Four survivors eventually walked to Mexico City, arriving in 1536. Despite the failure, their fantastical tales of mythical cities of gold inspired future expeditions to North America. 1527-36.Ajouté au bande de temps:
