Description

Perhaps essentially the most amazing thing of all about Garcilaso de la Vega’s epic account of the De Soto expedition is the truth that, despite the fact that it’s easily the first great classic of American history, it had never before received a complete or differently adequate English translation within the 346 years which have elapsed since its publication in Spanish. Now the Inca’s thrilling narrative comes into its own within the English speaking world.

Hernando de Soto’s expedition for the conquest of North The united states used to be essentially the most ambitious ever to brave the perils of the New World. Garcilaso tells in remarkably wealthy detail of the conquistadors’ wanderings over half a continent, of the incredible vicissitudes which beset them, of the Indians whom they sought to win for King and Church and by whose hands most of them died, of De Soto’s death, and of the final pitiful failure of the expedition.
