TAILIEUCHUNG - Hernando Cortez Makers of History

Three hundred and fifty years ago the ocean which washes the shores of America was one vast and silent solitude. No ship plowed its waves; no sail whitened its surface. On the 11th of October, 1492, three small vessels might have been seen invading, for the first time, these hitherto unknown waters. They were as specks on the bosom of infinity. The sky above, the ocean beneath, gave no promise of any land. Three hundred adventurers were in these ships. Ten weeks had already passed since they saw the hills of the Old World sink beneath the horizon. For weary days and weeks they had strained. | Hernando Cortez by John S. C.

Copyright 1884 by SUSAN ABBOT MEAD. PREFACE. The career of Hernando Cortez is one of the most wild and adventurous recorded in the annals of fact or fiction and yet all the prominent events in his wondrous history are well authenticated. All truth carries with itself an important moral. The writer in this narrative has simply attempted to give a vivid idea of the adventures of Cortez and his companions in the Conquest of Mexico. There are many inferences of vast moment to which the recital leads. These are so obvious that they need not be pointed out by the writer. A small portion of this volume has appeared in Harper s Magazine in an article furnished by the writer upon the Conquest of Mexico. CONTENTS Chapter Page 3 Chapter Page I.
