Ride with a young Spanish traveller as the Andes open up and the Inca world comes sharply into view. History is happening right here.Drawn from the first part of Pedro de Cieza de Leon’s Chronicle of Peru and presented in Clements R. Markham’s enduring edition, this historical travel narrative moves through Spanish America 1532-1550 with the immediacy of notes taken on the road. You will find vivid Andes exploration accounts, careful observation of landscapes and settlements, and frank reporting from a Spanish colonial chronicle written in the Pizarro era. For readers fascinated by the conquest of Peru and inca empire encounters, it offers a rare blend of adventure, geography, and the tense human realities of first contact.This is also a cornerstone for Latin American history research: a primary source collection valued by students of colonial history for its closeness to events in sixteenth century Peru and its place among the most consulted conquistador eyewitness accounts. Read it for the sweep of travel and discovery; keep it for the depth it brings to classic collections of exploration and empire.Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today -- a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
