First published in 1928. 'These letters, well edited tell of a
great conqueror, fighting for God and his king, and reveal the
might proportions of the truly Elizabethan character that was
Hernando Cortes.' Times Literary Supplement. Cortes's letters to
the Emperor from Mexico are half-letters, half-despatches. The
letters were all written between 1519 and 1526. Letter One: Despite
the original never having been recovered, there is little doubt
about the contents of this letter. The earliest discoveries of the
mainland from 1517 onwards are outlined. Letter Two: Arguably the
most dramatic of the five, this letter opens with the advance into
the heart of the hostile country and the capture of the monarch.
Letter Three: This letter covers the advance of Cortes into Culua,
the assault on the capital itself and the various enterprises
undertaken by the Conqueror to extend his power throughout Mexico.
Letter Four: This letter is mainly concerned with organizational
affairs, with the visit of Garay, causing rebellion in Panuco, and
concluding with the Frenchman's death, being the most important
incident. Letter Five: Beginning with the start of the expedition
to Honduras, and chronicling the trials and tribulations of the
daring journey, this letter ends with an account of Cortes'
triumphant return to the post of Governor after several years'
absence.
