Descubrimiento del Río de las Amazonas (Classic Reprint)

Description: This book compiles a collection of historical documents revealing the details of the Amazon River's discovery by Francisco de Orellana during the 1540s. The main text of the book is a first-hand account written by a Dominican friar who accompanied Orellana on his journey. This account was initially published in the mid-16th century and remained largely unknown until now. The book's compiler has included additional contemporary documents, including Orellana's own report, the depositions of other expedition members, and related correspondence, some of which have never been published before. Together, these documents provide a comprehensive and detailed picture of Orellana's historic expedition, offering valuable insights into the challenges and triumphs of early European exploration in the Americas.
