Relacion secreta de conquistadores
1539-1542

When Mariano Gonzalez-Leal was researching the secret files of Carlos I in the biblioteca del Escorial he found documents concerning the Spanish conquistadores and other first settlers of New Spain. There are many books written about the first conquistadors but few mention in detail the settlers who accompanied them and where they were settled. In this small treasure trove of 129 pages, it came as a complete surprise when I found an ancestor of mine, Juan Castilla. He was martyred in 1616 while defending the parish and priests of Santiago, Papasquiaro when he was murdered by the Tepehuanos.

The selection is now available on Abe Books for $29.00.
