The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made
available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of
exploration. The first series, which ran from 1847 to 1899,
consists of 100 books containing published or previously
unpublished works by authors from Christopher Columbus to Sir
Francis Drake, and covering voyages to the New World, to China and
Japan, to Russia and to Africa and India. This 1861 volume contains
a translation, preceded by an introductory essay, of a narrative by
Pedro Sim n (b. 1565) describing perhaps the most notorious of the
many sixteenth-century expeditions of European soldiers of fortune
into the unexplored areas of South America. A band of quarrelling
and murderous booty-hunters, motivated by reports of the fabulous
wealth of the Inca empire and legends of the golden land of El
Dorado, was led by Lope de Aguirre, whose cruelty and treachery
themselves became legendary.
