The True History of the Conquest of New Spain
Bernal Díaz del Castillo (1492–1584) was a foot soldier in the army of Mexico's conqueror Hernán Cortés, 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 García - the first edition based on the original manuscript. Written as a corrective to accounts that overemphasised Cortés' exploits, Díaz's epic focuses on the…

The Valley of Mexico
IN the paper I am about to read to you I endeavour to give some description of the valley and city of Mexico. The city originated in an Aztec settlement on two small muddy islands in a lake which at one time must have filled the greater part of the valley, 800ooo feet above sealevel. By an examination of early maps and plans I shall endeavour to trace the development of the city which, after becoming the capital of a native Indian empire, was suc…
