Any suggestions welcome.

Duncan's De Soto: A Savage Quest in the Americas is up-to-date on archaeology and a great read:

Cabeza de Vaca's Narrative of the Narvaez Expedition is a first hand account:

Is pretty good. It covers a lot of the nitty gritty of the campaign, it is fairly balanced and well written.
