by Bernal D?az del Castillo (Author), Genaro Garc?a (Editor), Alfred Percival Maudslay (Translator)

Bernal D az del Castillo (1492-1584) was a foot soldier in the army of Mexico's conqueror Hern n Cort s, and participated in the campaigns that led to the fall of the Aztec empire in 1521. This 1928 translation of his journals derives from the 1904 edition by the Mexican historian Genaro Garc a - the first edition based on the original manuscript. Written as a corrective to accounts that overemphasised Cort s' exploits, D az's epic focuses on the experiences of the common soldier. The most complete contemporary chronicle of the Mexican conquest, this important historical document is also a captivating adventure narrative that combines factual accuracy with many dramatic anecdotes. Volume 1, in which D az recounts his first two expeditions to the Yucat n coast and the beginning of his service in Cort s' army, contains chapters 1-81 and includes part of Garc a's 1904 introduction to his edition.
