What Our Customers Say...

Description

Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

A compelling narrative of Hernando de Soto's sixteenth-century expedition to North America, written by Garcilaso de la Vega in 1605. Garcilaso's rich detail provides a fascinating account of this monumental journey. 

Garcilaso de la Vega (1539-1616) was a chronicler and writer born in modern day Peru. The son of a Spanish conquistador and an Incan noblewoman, he is most well-known for his chronicles of Incan culture and history. 

The first English edition of this work, translated by John and Jeannette Varner. 

Including a frontispiece portrait of Hernando de Soto. 

Enclosed in the original dust wrapper. 

Condition

In the publisher's original cloth binding. Externally, lovely, with just a touch of bumping to the head of the spine. Original unclipped dust wrapper is very smart, with just some light edgewear, sunning to the back strip, and a few light marks to the wrap. Internally, firmly bound. A few light handling marks to the fore-edge, though the pages are otherwise bright and clean.
