This memoir is an autobiographical account of the events as witnessed by Bernal Diaz - a Conquistador on that journey - a man from Spain who desperately hoped to carve out a life of riches for himself in the new world and instead found himself on an epic journey of conquest, whilst desperately fighting to stay alive, in previously unknown and unimagined lands. This is a true tale written in his own hand and translated into English. It is a gripping account of the events from the soldiers' viewpoint as each day becomes a battle for survival against incredible odds.

The most incredible adventure of all time.
Revisado: 03-05-23
This is the most incredible true adventure of all time. Where is the big budget Hollywood film for this??? We have never seen men like the Conquistadors in our lives, these heroes must have levels of testosterone more than quadruple what modern men possess. The feats of endurance, mastery of arms, the discipline, the unbelievable greed and righteous piety wrapped in the protection of the Spanish emperor and the Catholic Church are almost unbelievable to modern ears. This story is fantastic, no other adventure story comes close. This story would have been SOOO MUCH better for immersion and presentation if the narrator had any idea of how to pronounce Spanish-language words in natural Spanish, it sounded really cheap when he would repeat words like "La Havana" meaning Hanava, Cuba and "La Florida" meaning Florida, USA with a stiff American English accent.
