lxxx, 397 pp. Includes black-and-white photographs, illustrations, and four fold-outs. Translated by Harriet de Onis, edited with an introduction by Victor Wolfgang von Hagen. "More than four hundred years ago, Pedro de Cieza de León set out to conduct the readers of his time-- and of subsequent generations--over the Royal Road of the Incas. His chronicles of Peru, published in 1553 and 1880, rank with Bernal Díaz del Castillo's account of the conquest of Mexico."
