A soldier’s account of the Spanish campaign in Mexico

Bernal Díaz del Castillo recounts the Spanish expedition under Hernán Cortés from the perspective of a soldier who served in it. The narrative covers the landing in Mexico, the Spaniards’ encounter with the Aztec capital, their pursuit of gold and other wealth, their expulsion from the city, and their return and eventual capture of the capital. Its first-person framing places the account within the experience of the Spanish forces, while its subject encompasses conquest, wealth, and the upheaval of the Aztec Empire. The book offers a historical narrative of a pivotal episode in the Spanish conquest of Mexico.
