Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Tales From American History Chiefly Relating to the Conquest of Mexico and Peru, by Hernando Cortez Francisco Pizarro: To Which Are Added Some Facts Illustrative of the Present State of Those Countries In the history of Columbus it was related that the Portuguese nation, for several years previous to the discovery of America, had been much interested in seeking a passage to India, and that the king of Portugal, when he learned what Columbus had accomplished, was vexed that he had not the honour of being the patron of that great man. John II. of Portugal, however, had entrusted a small fleet to one Bartholomew Diaz, and that navigator had discovered the southern extremity of Africa. When Diaz arrived at the last limit of South Africa, and beheld the ocean beyond it, he was convinced that by proceeding he should make some more important discovery; but he had been absent from Lisbon sixteen months, his ships were in a shattered condition, and his men entreated that they might return to Portugal.
