1800E0068viii514 pages with frontispiece map. Quarto 10 1/2" x 8 3/4" housed in a custom slipcase. Translated by Maurice Keatinge. First English edition.<br /><br /> Bernal Dïaz del Castillo was a conquistador who wrote an eyewitness account of the conquest of Mexico by the Spaniards under Hernan Cortes himself serving as a rodelero under Cortes. Born in Medina del Campo Spain he came from a family of little wealth and he himself had received only a minimal education. He sailed to Cuba in 1514 to make his fortune but after two years found few opportunities there. Much of the native population of the island had already been killed by epidemics and forced labor and in 1517 an expedition was sent to the smaller Caribbean islands to find alternative sources of labor. Dïaz joined this group under the command of Francisco Hernandez de Cordoba. It was a difficult venture and although they discovered the Yucatan coast by the time the expedition returned to Cuba they were in disastrous shape. Nevertheless Dïaz returned to the coast of Yucatan the following year on an expedition led by Juan de Grijalva with the intent of exploring the newly discovered lands. Upon returning to Cuba he enlisted in a new expedition this one led by Hernan Cortes. In this third effort Dïaz took part in one of the legendary military campaigns of history bringing an end to the Aztec empire in Mesoamerica. During this campaign Dïaz spoke frequently with his companions in arms about their experiences collecting them into a coherent narration. The book that resulted from this was Historia verdadera de la conquista de la Nueva Espana English: The True History of the Conquest of New Spain. In it he describes many of the 119 battles in which he claims to have participated culminating in the fall of the Aztec Empire in 1521.As a reward for his service Dïaz was appointed governor of Santiago de los Caballeros present-day Antigua Guatemala. He began writing his history in 1568 almost fifty years after the events described in response to an alternative history written by Cortes's chaplain who had not actually participated in the campaign. He called his book the Verdadera Historia True History in response to the claims made in the earlier work. Dïaz died in 1585 without seeing his book published. A manuscript was found in a Madrid library in 1632 and finally published providing an eye-witness account of the events often told from the perspective of a common soldier. Today it is one of the most important sources in understanding the campaign that led to the collapse of the Aztec Empire and the Spanish conquest of Mexico.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b>Spine renewed with new period spine label and original boards which the corners and edges are heavily rubbed some foxing to early pages.

1974TEH004xiii346 pages with foldout map plates bibliography and index. Royal octavo 9 1/4" x 6 1/4" bound in original publisher's red cloth with gilt lettering to black spine label in pictorial jacket. The Texas Pan American Series. First edition. The Cristero War or Cristero Rebellion 1926–1929 also known as La Cristiada was a widespread struggle in many central-western Mexican states against the secularist anti-Catholic and anticlerical policies of the Mexican government. The rebellion was set off by enactment under President Plutarco Elías Calles of a statute to enforce the anticlerical articles of the Mexican Constitution of 1917 also known as the Calles Law. Calles sought to eliminate the power of the Catholic Church and organizations affiliated with it as an institution and also suppress popular religious celebration in local communities. The massive popular rural uprising was tacitly supported by the Church hierarchy and was aided by urban Catholic support. US Ambassador Dwight W. Morrow brokered negotiations between the Calles government and the Church. The government made some concessions the Church withdrew its support for the Cristero fighters and the conflict ended in 1929. It can be seen as a major event in the struggle between Church and State dating back to the 19th century with the War of Reform but it can also be interpreted as the last major peasant uprising in Mexico following the end of the military phase of the Mexican Revolution in 1920.
