About This Book

The work mounts a spirited defense of sixteenth-century Spanish exploration and colonization in the Americas, melding narrative accounts of voyages and settlements with moral, legal, and practical analysis of colonial methods. Based on archival research and on-site investigation, it reevaluates common criticisms of the colonial enterprise, examines logistical and administrative challenges faced by explorers, and presents biographical and documentary material to support its judgments. The text combines historical narrative, argument, and field scholarship to prompt a reassessment of those early imperial actions.
