Excerpt from The Battle Roll: An Encyclopedia Containing Descriptions of the Most Famous and Memorable Land Battles and Sieges in All Ages; Arranged Alphabetically and Chronologically

Abancay was fought near a river in Peru of that name, on the 12th of July, 1537, between the Spanish troops of Alvarado on the one side, and those of Almagro on the other. The battle occurred during the civil war which broke out among the Spaniards after their conquest of Peru; and the forces on both sides were nearly equal, each consisting of about five hundred men. The loss in killed and wounded, on either side, was trifling; but Alvarado and his whole army were made prisoners by the victorious tr00ps of Almagro.
