This volume makes Pané’s landmark Account—the first book written in a European language on American soil—available in an annotated English edition. Edite...

Sven Loven decided to update and reissue the work in English, which he thought to be the future international language of scholarship. This work is a classic, with enduring interpretations, broad geographic range, and an eager audience.
