1780 Voyages MEXICO Hernan Cortez & Christopher Columbus Montezuma Nunez Balboa



The best book of its kind!



A rare book La Harpes General History of Voyages! This extensive work was begun by La Harpe, and, after the first 21 volumes, was completed by several other historians. Not only does this work describe the geography of specific voyages, but it covers the sciences, commerce, religion, and customs of people groups from Africa, Asia, Americas, and Pacific Islands.



According to Sabin, La Harpes Voyages is

“a work that has met with greater success than any other of the same kind; the fidelity of the narration, the striking details of adventures, and the lively pictures of manners, etc., it presents, will always give it a peculiar and lasting merit. Contains all the early voyages of America.”



This 10th volume is perhaps one of the most desirable of any volume from this work. It covers the voyages of Christopher Columbus and Hernando Cortez in Mexico:

Discoveries in Mexico

Cortez and conquistador conquests in Mexico

Conquest of Tlaxcala and the Yucatan

Lady Marina greeting Cortez

Cortez at the court of Montezuma

Voyages of Vasco Nunez de Balboa in Mexico
