Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo
Though few may know his name, his achievement as the first European to discover San Diego Bay and many other areas on the California coast enshrines his name in the annals of American history. This exciting volume tells Cabrillo's story from an unknown soldier to the intrepid conquistador, crossbowman, landowner, shipbuilder, and explorer he became. As one of Hernan Cortes' soldiers during the conquest of Mexico and a founder of Guatemala, his actions loomed large in the future of both South America and North America. By both educating and entertaining, this biography illuminates a little-known but important Latino explorer.
Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo

Sin, Crimes, and Retribution in Early Latin America
A specialist in the Spanish conquest of the Americas translates 16th century "murder and mayhem" accounts of two Peruvian conquistadors, Lope de Aguirre and "the demon of the Andes" Francisco de Carvajal; and 17th century "tales from Bogota" about the Conquest by Juan Rodriguez Freyle. For each section, Jay provides a chronology, eyewitness and secondary sources, and a glossary of indigenous and Spanish terms/place names. These were hardly the good old days in the New World, as one hapless native senora got hung, garrotted, and shot for allegedly plotting against a provincial official. No index.
