An Account of the Conquest of Peru (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from An Account of the Conquest of Peru The work of Pedro Sancho is one of the most valuable accounts of the Spanish con quest of Peru that we possess. Nor is its value purely historical. The Relacion of Sancho gives much interesting ethnological information relative to the Inca dominion at the time of its demolition. Errors Pedro Sancho has in plenty; but the editor has striven to counteract them by footnotes. In every instance the translator has pre served Pedro Sancho's spelling of proper names, calling attention to the modern equivalent on the first occurrence of each name. In a few instances, where the text was unusually obscure, close translation has not been adhered to. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
