Book excerpt: I, Bernal Diaz del Castillo, regidor of the town of Santiago, in Guatimala, author of this very true and faithful history, have now finished it, in order that it may be published to the world. It treats of the discovery and total conquest of New Spain; and how the great city of Mexico and several other towns were taken, up to the time when peace was concluded with the whole country; also of the founding of many Spanish cities and towns, by which we, as we were in duty bound, extended the dominion of our sovereign. In this history will be found many curious facts worthy of notice. It likewise points out the errors and blunders contained in a work written by Francisco de Gomara, who not only commits many errors himself in what he writes about New Spain, but he has also been the means of leading those two famous historians astray who followed his account, namely, Dr. Illescas and the bishop Paulo Jovio. What I have written in this book I declare and affirm to be strictly true. I myself was present at every battle and hostile encounter. Indeed, these are not old tales or romances of the seventh century; for, if I may so say, it happened but yesterday what is contained in my history. I relate how, where, and in what manner these things took place; as an accredited eyewitness of this I may mention our very spirited and valorous captain Don Hernando Cortes, marquis del Valle Oaxaca, who wrote an account of these occurrences from Mexico to his imperial majesty Don Carlos the Fifth, of glorious memory; and likewise the corresponding account of the viceroy Don Antonio de Mendoza. But, besides this, you have only to read my history and you see it is true. I have now completed it this 26th day of February, 1568, from my day-book and memory, in this very loyal city of Guatimala, the seat of the royal court of audience. I also think of mentioning some other circumstances which are for the most part unknown to the public. I must beg of the printers not to take away from, nor add one single syllable to, the following narrative, etc.

Bernal DIaz del Castillo, himself a soldier under Cortes, presents a fascinatingly detailed description of the Spanish landing in Mexico in 1520 and their amazement at the city, the exploitation of the natives for gold and other treasures, the expulsion and flight of the Spaniards, their regrouping and eventual capture of the Aztec capital.

"The author of this original and charming production, to which he justly gives the title of 'The True History of the Conquest of New Spain,' was himself one of the Conquistadores; one who not only witnessed the transactions which he relates, but who also performed a glorious part in them; a soldier who, for impartiality and veracity, perhaps never had his equal. His account is acknowledged to be the only one on which we can place reliance, and it has been the magazine from which the most eloquent of the Spanish writers on the same subject, as well as those of other countries, have borrowed their best materials. Some historians have even transcribed whole pages, but have not had sufficient honesty to acknowledge it. "The author, while living, was never rewarded for the great services he had rendered his country, and it is remarkable that, after his death, his very memoirs were pillaged by court historians, to raise a literary monument to themselves." -from Translator's Preface "Next to the Expedition of Cyrus and the Commentaries of Caesar, we have met with no works of a kindred nature which will be read with more intense interest than the volumes before us." -Times "If we were asked to put our hand on the most thoroughly interesting works that the present season has produced, we should certainly include Mr. Lockhart's excellent translation, and we emphatically recommend it as a rich and moral fund of entertainment and information." -Morning Post "We could readily occupy many of our columns with extracts to delight our friends, but their very abundance startles us, and we would rather sat at once that the whole account is of such unmixed attraction - carries you on with such variety and effect of action - paints the inhabitants of the New World and their invaders in such striking colors, possesses so high a historical value, and is so rich in every kind of information belonging to the circumstances, the country, and the epoch, that the best review of it would be a reprint of the whole, with notes of admiration." -Literary Gazette "We are happy to receive from Mr. Lockhart's hands an excellent translation of these memoirs." -Britannia "The author was a brave old soldado, the companion in arms of Cortes, in the conquest of New Spain, who, in old age and retirement, amused himself with writing the history of the 119 battles in which he had been engaged, and the memorable events he had witnessed." -Tait's Edinburgh Magazine "The testimony of these qualities, and of his achievements, are now given to the public by Mr. Lockhart in an English version. The original Spanish manuscript remained unpublished for upwards of sixty years after the death of Diaz, when a monk of the Order of Mercy, or of the Redemption of Captives, Alonzo Remon, drew it from oblivion....An achievement of great merit. Mr. Lockhart, by his translation of this rare old Spanish writer, will afford to all who love original narratives by eye-witnesses high and rational gratification. The book deserves a place in every well-chosen library." -The Gentleman's Magazine

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Memoirs of the Conquistador Bernal Diaz Del Castillo, Vol. 2 of 2: Containing a True and Full Account of the Discovery and Conquest of Mexico and New Spain When Cortes found himself so well provided again with muskets, powder, crossbows, and horses, and observed how impatient the whole of us, officers as well as soldiers, were to commence the siege of the great city of Mexico, he desired the caziques of Tlascalla to furnish him with 10,000 of their troops to join us in the campaign of Tezcuco, as this was one of the largest towns of New Spain, and next in importance to Mexico. The elder Xicotencatl (now called Don Lorenzo de Vargas) assured him that not only the 10,000, but many more troops were at his service, and that the brave cazique Chichimalatecl, our particular friend, would himself march out at their head. Cortes returned him the most sincere thanks, and, after having reviewed the whole of his troops, whose exact number I have forgotten, we commenced our march on the fourth day after Christmas of the year 1520. The first night we quartered in a township which was subject to Tezcuco, and were provided with everything we required. From this place we arrived on the Mexican territory, where, if possible, we observed still greater precaution, and always had four of the horse-patrol and an equal number of foot in advance to explore the defiles, as we had been informed on our march that a very formidable mountain pass had been blocked up by large trees which the enemy had felled when notice of our approach was received in Mexico and Tezcuco.
