Book excerpt: Excerpt from Diary of a Tour in Spain: During the Spring and Summer of 1853 A less glorious exploit occurred there in 1702 during the War of Succession. It is related by Macaulay,1 after failing at Cadiz, the English fleet was off the coast of Portugal on the way back to England, when the Duke of Ormond received intelligence that the treasure-ships from America had just arrived in Europe, and had, in order to avoid his armament, repaired to the harbour of Vigo. The cargo consisted, it was said, of more than three millions sterling in gold and silver. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt: ... ascent is very steep, and is carried upwards between two vast walls, strengthened at intervals with towers, and once deemed impregnable. The top commands a fine view in front of the town and sea-line; and, behind, of the whole circle of country, up to the foot of the mountains. These do not approach the town so closely, as had been my first impression, but admit a fertile and extensive plain on all sides, still keeping off every northern blast, and sheltering completely all that lies within their circumference. One valley alone appeared to pierce this dark and frowning wall, and paint it with a streak of green, admitting, at the same time, a river which flows through the western extremity of the town. This was now but a scanty stream, which flowed sluggishly along, and seemed little worthy of being spanned by two bridges, which extend far beyond its present borders. But, after a storm, the torpid river often changes into a rapid and foaming torrent, such as mountains only can send forth almost in a moment, as if their very fountains were broken up. The river lay in our way as we took road to Granada on the evening of June 1st. Soon after crossing it the Diligence began a toilsome ascent, so that it was only by four o'clock p.m. on the following morning that we just gained the topmost crest of the Sierra. Throughout the early part of the day we continued to follow a rough and jilting road amid the mountains, which now closed in deep defiles, and then opened out to show villages and detached huts in the valleys far below, with an isolated castle or tower perhaps crossing the opposite ravine. The town of Alhama lies far away to the right, amid the same line of Sierras which form the barrier of the ancient kingdom of Granada towards the sea....

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The quiet of the dawn was rent by the screams of war. Scores, perhaps hundreds, of Quechan and Mohave warriors leaped from concealment, rushing the plaza from all sides. Painted for battle and brandishing lances, bows, and war clubs, the Indians killed every Spaniard they could catch. The route from the Spanish presidial settlements in upper Sonora to the Colorado River was called the Camino del Diablo, the "Road of the Devil." Running through the harshest of deserts, this route was the only way for the Spanish to transport goods overland to their settlements in California. At the end of the route lay the only passable part of the lower Colorado, and the people who lived around the river, the Yumas or Quechans, initially joined into a peaceful union with the Spanish. When the relationship soured and the Yumas revolted in 1781, it essentially ended Spanish settlement in the area, dashed the dreams of the mission builders, and limited Spanish expansion into California and beyond. In Massacre at the Yuma Crossing, Mark Santiago introduces us to the important and colorful actors involved in the dramatic revolt of 1781: Padre Francisco Garcés, who discovered a path from Sonora to California, made contact with the Yumas and eventually became their priest; Salvador Palma, the informal leader of the Yuman people, whose decision to negotiate with the Spanish earned him a reputation as a peacebuilder in the region, which eventually caused his downfall; and Teodoro de Croix, the Spanish commandant-general, who, breaking with traditional settlement practice, established two pueblos among the Quechans without an adequate garrison or mission, thereby leaving the settlers without any sort of defense when the revolt finally took place. Massacre at the Yuma Crossing not only tells the story of the Yuma Massacre with new details but also gives the reader an understanding of the pressing questions debated in the Spanish Empire at the time: What was the efficacy of the presidios? How extensive should the power of the Catholic mission priests be? And what would be the future of Spain in North America?
