Charles Lummis set out to correct the Anglo-American habit of belittling Spain’s role in the New World. He tells of Columbus, the conquests of Mexico and Peru and the Spanish explorers and missionaries of the Southwest, arguing that Spain’s pioneers showed courage and humanity too often forgotten.

A spirited, pioneering corrective to the Black Legend, dedicated to Elizabeth Custer. Download the free EPUB.
