Description

The Conquest of New Grenada by Juan Rodriguez Freile

Rich In gold and precious stones, the legendary land of El Dorado was won for Spain in a single skirmish. In 1537, Freile was the son of one of the early conquistadors, and a born reporter who viewed great events and local gossip with the same lively curiosity. In 1638, he set down the story, now translated for the first time into English, of the first hundred years in Santa Fe – a story in which lovers and murderers share the honours with profiteering governors; where Drake’s, raid on Cadiz is overshadowed by a rising of non-existent rebels.
Spontaneous, entertaining, colourful, his book gives a remarkable picture of early days in the New World.
