Beschreibung

A date known to most in the Western World is 1492, when the discovery of the Americas by Columbus closed out the Middle Ages and set the stage for the modern history of the New World. Many military expeditions of but a few hundred men sent forth by the King left Spain for the new territories.

Autor

Bob Villarreal acquired a deep interest in the Spanish Conquest of Peru in the late 1970's when he and his wife adopted two young infant daughters, one from Cusco, Peru and the other from Pasto, Colombia. He has maintained that interest throughout the years and his knowledge allows him to present The Adventure Chronicles of Pedro de Mérida as an autobiographical account of the Spanish conquest of Peru and Chile. He blends together actual events and participants in a historical narrative that is enhanced by his extensive travels and climbs in the Andes during his climbing career, as detailed in Clawing for the Stars: A Solo Climber in the Highest Andes.
