Details
In 1527, Spanish explorer Cabeza de Vaca led an expedition to Florida.
In this Lighthouse Talk, Craig Turner here tells this amazing story — a tale of shipwrecks and slavery, of miracles, battles, apparitions, privations and hardship, of spies and bribery, of human sacrifice, and above all, an astonishing journey through a wilderness that took all but four lives out of three hundred. Those who sought to gain the most fared the worst, and those who accepted their terrible fate performed miracles.

This particular talk by Mr Turner was particularly intriguing
This particular talk by Mr Turner was particularly intriguing and interesting because of the non-fictional and historically accurate story of Cabeza de Vaca; particularly because he is a figure that one would never consider to research and/or learn about however the story was truly epic. My wife loved this talk as well; she really enjoyed the history and the story.

Fascinating talk
Not only was this fascinating talk an exceptional piece of history of which most people are unaware, it is extraordinarily pertinent to our own times. That those focusing on their own ambitions were lost, that God is active in the direst situations, and acts powerfully through ordinary people is a clarion call for people everywhere to draw close to him.

This was a thoroughly interesting and informative talk
This was a thoroughly interesting and informative talk. I've been trying to find a movie dvd about de Vaca but the prices for those available are prohibitive.
