Download or read book The Cost Of Conquest written by Linda Newson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2022-02-23 with total page 367 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the time of the Spanish conquest, Honduras was inhabited by two distinct social systems, which defined the boundary between the cultures of Mesoamerica and South America. Each system was administered in a different way, and subsequently the survival of each civilization varied markedly. This study examines the nature of each culture at the time of Spanish conquest, the size of the populations, and the method of colonization applied to each. Particular attention is focused on Spanish economic activities and the institutions that directly affected the Indian way of life. Dr. Newson bases her findings on extensive archival research conducted in Spain, Guatemala, and Honduras and on archaeological, ethnographic, and linguistic evidence found in secondary sources.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Spanish Honduras: Its Rivers, Lagoons, Savannas, Mountains, Minerals, Forests, Fish, Game, Agricultural Products, Fruits, Transportation and Natives Central America occupies that portion of the globe lying between North and South America and between the Caribbean Sea and the Pacific Ocean. Geographically, its northwestern extremity is at the Isthmus of Tehnantepec and its southwestern extremity at the Isthmus of Panama. Politically, it includes the British colony of Belize and five independent Republics. One of the largest three is the Republic of Honduras. To the west of Honduras lie the Republics of Guatemala and Salvador, to the south of it Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The area of Honduras is about five thousand square miles larger than that of the State of Pennsylvania. Its northern coast line is about 350 miles long. Its southern coast line nearly surrounds the Bay of Fonseca. and is seventy miles long. The surface is generally mountainous, but the central part of the Republic consists of a large plateau of 3,000 to 4,000 feet elevation above sea level. The country is drained by a number of rivers, the largest of which are the Ulna, the Aguan and the Patuca. Patuca River rises in the south central portion of the Republic, flows in a general northeast direction for a distance of 300 miles, and empties into the Caribbean Sea. It is the largest river between the Mississippi and the Magdalena. The highest mountain ranges are in the northern and western parts of the country. The highest peak is Mount Congrehoi, near the north coast, which rises more than 8,000 feet above sea level. The entire country, excepting only the higher mountain peaks, is covered either with a dense tropical growth, or with tall grasses. The alluvial soils of the valleys sustain a jungle, the hills and mountain sides a heavy growth of valuable hard woods and the plateaus comprise ideal grazing grounds. The mountains are rich in minerals. Gold, silver, copper, coal, iron and opals exist in abundance. The modern history of Honduras dates back to the landing of Columbus on its north coast in 1502. That it was earlier peopled by a progressive race is shown in its vast ruins, the most noted of which are to be found in the department of Copan, and also near Catacamas, in the valley of the Patuca. Columbus laid claim to the country for the crown of Spain. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Synopsis Culture and Customs of Honduras by : Janet N. Gold
Download or read book Culture and Customs of Honduras written by Janet N. Gold and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2009-04-30 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This comprehensive look at contemporary life in the small Latin American nation allows high school students and general readers to explore the many facets of Honduran life and culture. More and more Hondurans and scholars today are becoming aware of the diversity in the nation, and are realizing that rather than a single, homogeneous culture, Honduras is made up of many different cultures. Gold incorporates this contemporary cultural consciousness in her treatment of Honduras's regional and linguistic diversity as well as in her descriptions of Honduras's indigenous communities. Key elements of the work include a look at national identity and cultural diversity, as well as an in-depth study of indigenous Honduras. Other chapters examine religion, as well as daily routines, cuisine, dress, media, sports, festivals, literature and oral storytelling, traditional crafts, visual arts, and music and dance. Ideal for high school students studying world culture, Latin American studies, and anthropology, as well as for general readers interested in the subject, Culture and Customs of Honduras is an essential addition for library shelves.
Book Synopsis The Lost City of the Monkey God by : Douglas Preston
Download or read book The Lost City of the Monkey God written by Douglas Preston and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 348 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The #1 New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, named one of the best books of the year by The Boston Globe and National Geographic: acclaimed journalist Douglas Preston takes readers on a true adventure deep into the Honduran rainforest in this riveting narrative about the discovery of a lost civilization -- culminating in a stunning medical mystery. Since the days of conquistador Hernán Cortés, rumors have circulated about a lost city of immense wealth hidden somewhere in the Honduran interior, called the White City or the Lost City of the Monkey God. Indigenous tribes speak of ancestors who fled there to escape the Spanish invaders, and they warn that anyone who enters this sacred city will fall ill and die. In 1940, swashbuckling journalist Theodore Morde returned from the rainforest with hundreds of artifacts and an electrifying story of having found the Lost City of the Monkey God-but then committed suicide without revealing its location. Three quarters of a century later, bestselling author Doug Preston joined a team of scientists on a groundbreaking new quest. In 2012 he climbed aboard a rickety, single-engine plane carrying the machine that would change everything: lidar, a highly advanced, classified technology that could map the terrain under the densest rainforest canopy. In an unexplored valley ringed by steep mountains, that flight revealed the unmistakable image of a sprawling metropolis, tantalizing evidence of not just an undiscovered city but an enigmatic, lost civilization. Venturing into this raw, treacherous, but breathtakingly beautiful wilderness to confirm the discovery, Preston and the team battled torrential rains, quickmud, disease-carrying insects, jaguars, and deadly snakes. But it wasn't until they returned that tragedy struck: Preston and others found they had contracted in the ruins a horrifying, sometimes lethal-and incurable-disease. Suspenseful and shocking, filled with colorful history, hair-raising adventure, and dramatic twists of fortune, THE LOST CITY OF THE MONKEY GOD is the absolutely true, eyewitness account of one of the great discoveries of the twenty-first century.
