Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Gold Another man, while dwelling with pleasure on the expectation of a drink, would have also wished for a wash and the use of a clothes brush. The ideal curate, the dilettante, delicate-handed priest of Tennyson's poems, the beloved of ladies in English country towns, would have wished first to be clean and then desired some mild refreshment - tea, perhaps, served in an old china cup. But Mr. Meldon was no such curate. Indeed, those who knew him well wondered at his being a curate at all. He was more at his ease in a smoking-room than a drawing-room, and preferred a gun to a Sunday-school roll-book. He cared very little about his personal appearance, and considered that he paid sufficient respect to the virtue of cleanliness if he washed every morning. He was physically strong, played most games well, had been distinguished as an athlete in college, smoked black tobacco, and was engaged to be married. Also, though no one ever gave him credit for being studious, he read a great many books. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-01-30 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Early Spanish and Portuguese Coinage in America Torquemada, in his Monarchia Indiana, Vol. I, p. 614, gives a rather confused account of the successive coinages in Mexico. He describes the ingots, quoit-shaped plates and gold-dust, used in exchanges, and how the Indians, unable to weigh or determine the value of the metal, were defrauded. Copper coins were then struck of four types, cuartos, half-cuartos, four and two maravedis, but the date of their issue is not given. The author says that this coinage was similar to one in use in Spain and in the Island of San Domingo. The Mexican copper coins were so distasteful to the natives that no ordinance could keep them in circulation, and they were tossed into the lake; two hundred thousand pesos worth of copper being thus lost in one year. That so much Copper should have been coined is improbable. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In front of an inn which stands beside the dusty road just outside the town a girl with pinks in her hair is dancing segw'dz'llas. Near her an Arab eyed youth twangs a guitar. Her friends sit around in a half-circle, clap ping their hands to mark the measure of the dance. Ole! Ole! They cry, at intervals, in gay applause. Ou a table are half-empty glasses of agita dt'ente; yellow ﬂowers bloom near the door of the little inn, a baby tumbles happily about on the brown earth, and a bird hops in a rough wooden cage. The girl's body, lithe and slender, sways alluringly to and fro, the sun ﬂashes on her white teeth and lights a gleam in her sombre eyes. The guitar-playerwatches her gravely, his hand trembles, then he sings. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Between 1539 and 1542 Hernando de Soto led a small army on a desperate journey of exploration of almost four thousand miles across the U. S. Southeast. Until the 1998 publication of Charles M. Hudson's foundational Knights of Spain, Warriors of the Sun, De Soto's path had been one of history's most intriguing mysteries. With this book, anthropologist Charles Hudson offers a solution to the question, "Where did de Soto go?" Using a new route reconstruction, for the first time the story of the de Soto expedition can be laid on a map, and in many instances it can be tied to specific archaeological sites. Arguably the most important event in the history of the Southeast in the sixteenth century, De Soto's journey cut a bloody and indelible swath across both the landscape and native cultures in a quest for gold and personal glory. The desperate Spanish army followed the sunset from Florida to Texas before abandoning its mission. De Soto's one triumph was that he was the first European to explore the vast region that would be the American South, but he died on the banks of the Mississippi River a broken man in 1542. With a new foreword by Robbie Ethridge reflecting on the continuing influence of this now classic text, the twentieth-anniversary edition of Knights is a clearly written narrative that unfolds against the exotic backdrop of a now extinct social and geographic landscape. Hudson masterfully chronicles both De Soto's expedition and the native societies he visited. A blending of archaeology, history, and historical geography, this is a monumental study of the sixteenth-century Southeast.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish-American Folk-Songs, Vol. 10 Enormous fortunes were made in the mines, which opened the way to various forms of pleasure and expenditure. Moreover, the rich could get various European luxuries. One reads descriptions in Mme. Calderon de la Barca's letters, and elsewhere, of beautiful dresses and jewels; and in the Museum in Mexico there are wonderful old costumes and pieces of antique furniture. Thomas Gage quotes a by - word of the day: Four things are fair, the women, the apparel, the horses, and the streets. He adds, and the beauty of the coaches, which do exceed in cost the best of the Court of Madrid and other parts of Christendom, for they spare no silver nor. Gold nor precious stones, nor cloth of gold, nor the best of silk from China, to enrich them. Throughout all the Spanish colonies, and from the earliest times, the things from Europe were always sought after and treasured; for they were hard to get, and, if they were lost, there was never any assurance that they could be replaced. In the country regions there was greater simplicity of life as to physical conditions, and mental as well; for schools were few and far between, and outside of Mexico City and Lima, and one or two other university towns, the standards in education were easy-going. We read that books con cerning the Americas could not be delivered there without permission of the proper authorities, and every book had to be registered and described when shipped.1 Profane matter, fabulous matter, and romance were all forbidden by the Inquisition.

Some authors have gone so far as to assert that the Phoenicians made the anchors of their ships of gold and silver, and that the Carthaginians were astonished to find in Andalusia, that the mangers and vases for holding wine and oil were made of the same materials. These references have been constantly mentioned in ancient Spanish authors. Ambrosio de Morales, in his Antiguedades de espafia, Alcala I 577, enters into every detail on this subject.

To tell even an outline of the story of the sea fathers of the Carib bean and the struggles of three centuries for the mastery of that sea would take too long.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Founding of Spanish California: The Northwestward Expansion of New Spain, 1687-1783 Spain's capacity for great effort in Alta California seemed likely to continue. Bucarely had plans under way, the successful accomplishment of which would have advanced the colonies far beyond the stage of mere permanence into that of populous development. And here, indeed, was danger to the future prospects of the United States; for a populous development of Alta California must almost certainly have involved discovery of gold, and a consequent haste of settlement before the United States could have been ready to make good her interests in the region. It is well to bear in mind, too, that the Spaniards have been among the most expert seekers of precious metals in the history of modern times the rush of miners to Arizonac and Ciene guilla, referred to in this volume, shows what might have happened if they had been the discoverers of Alta Cali fornia's gold. It must be remembered, also, that the United States did not extend beyond the Mississippi until 1803, did not acquire frontage on the Pacific until 1819, and did not make great progress in colonizing the Oregon country until after 1840.
