The Clements Center for Southwest Studies is pleased to present Vicente de Zaldívar’s account of his 1598 journey to the plains in Spanish as well as English, and to present that Spanish text in a form that reflects the original intentions of the writer. Jerry Craddock’s careful comparisons of different renditions of this journey meet the highest standard of critical textual analysis. Scholars will value the fidelity of the Spanish language account; general readers will be charmed by the story, either in Spanish prose, or in Gaspar Pérez de Vallagrá’s poetic rendering, or in John H. R. Polt’s graceful translations.
