One of this man's underlings was the subject of Andre Resendez's 2009 biography, A Land So Strange. His best known expedition was based on the assumption that Panuco could easily be reached by land. With his pilot Miruelo, he reached a body of water then called Espiritu Santo Bay. After he cut off the nose of an Indian chief, he reportedly "discovered" that the Apalachee people were hiding gold. He took part in a campaign to pacify Cuba headed by Diego Velazquez, who then sent him on a failed mission to capture Hernan Cortes, during which he was taken prisoner. His treasurer and second-in-command Cabeza de Vaca was one of only four men to survive his namesake expedition, and wrote a chronicle of it. FTP, name this conquistador who led a disastrous 1527 expedition to Tampa Bay, Florida.
