Esteban the African slave who explored America / Dennis Herrick   Author:  Herrick, Dennis F. author Title:  Esteban the African slave who explored America / Dennis Herrick Publisher:  Albuquerque University of New Mexico Press 2018 Copyright:  ©2018 Description:  1 online resource (xix, 282 pages) Electronic Resource:  https://smithsonian.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/smithsonian/detail.action?docID=5484729 Notes:  Online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on August 09, 2018) Summary:  "When Pueblo Indians say, "The first white man our people saw was a black man," they are referring to Esteban, who came to New Mexico in 1539. After centuries of negative portrayals, this book highlights Esteban's importance in America's early history. Books about the history of the American West have ignored Esteban or belittled his importance, often using his slave nickname, Estebanico. What little we know about Esteban comes from alvar Núñez Cabeza de Vaca and other Spanish chroniclers, whose condescension toward the African slave has carried over into most history books. In this work Herrick dispels the myths and outright lies about Esteban. His biography emphasizes Esteban rather than the Spaniards whose exploits are often exaggerated and jingoistic in the sixteenth-century chronicles. He gives Esteban full credit for his courage and his skill as a linguist and cultural intermediary who was trusted and respected by Indians from many tribes across the continent."-- Bibliography Note:  Includes bibliographical references and index Restrictions:  Non-linear Local Note:  ELEC copy purchased with funds from the Lloyd and Charlotte Wineland Library Endowment for Native American and Western Exploration Literature Elecresource Subject:  Estevan, -1539.
