In these narratives -- primary documents written by missionaries and conquistadors -- vivid details of these little known Mayan cultures are revealed, answering how and why lowlander independence was able to evade Spanish conquest while similar civilizations could not. Fascinating tales of the journey from Europe are included, involving unknown islands, lost pilots, life aboard a galleon fleet, political intrigue, cannibals, and breathtaking natural beauty. In short, these forgotten manuscripts -- translations of the papers of the past -- provide an unforgettable look at an understudied chapter in the age of exploration.
