Inhaltsangabe

Ephraim G. Squier's "Collection of Rare and Original Documents and Relations Concerning the Discovery and Conquest of America" (No. 1) assembles a compelling trove of primary materials drawn largely from Spanish archives. Rather than offering a smooth, later narrative, the volume lets the reader encounter the discovery and conquest of the Americas through contemporary reports, official records, and firsthand accounts-texts that reveal not only events, but also the motives, methods, and political calculations behind them. By foregrounding original documents, Squier highlights the complexity of the Spanish enterprise: the interplay of exploration, conquest, administration, and the contest for legitimacy, resources, and authority. Collection of Rare and Original Documents and Relations - concerning the discovery and conquest of America, Chiefly from the Spanish archives. No. 1 is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1860.
