The Despatches of Hernando Cortes

by Hernando Cortes, George Folsom (Translator)

Overview

The Despatches of Hernando Cortes are a series of letters written by Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortes. Cortes led an expedition that caused the fall of the Aztec Empire and brought large portions of what is now mainland Mexico under the rule of the King of Castile in the early 16th century. These letters describe his journey to Mexico, his arrival in Tenochtitlán (the capital of the Aztec Empire) and some of the events that would result in the conquest of Mexico. This 19th century translation includes an Introduction and notes, as well as the second, third, and fourth letters.
