Contiene: The Men of Cajamarca is perhaps the fullest treatment yet published of any group of early Spaniards in América. Part I Examines general types, characteristics, and processes visible in the groups as representative Spanish immigrants, central to the establishment of a Spanish presente in the New World`s richest land. The intention is to contribute to a changing image of the Sapanish conqueror, a man motivated more by pragmatic self-interest than by any love of adventure, capable and versatile as often as illiterate and rough Aiming at permanence more than new landfalls, these men created the governmental units and settlement distribution of much of Spanish America and set lasting patterns for a new society. Part II, contains from a few lines for the most obscure to many pages of analysis for the best-documented figures. The author traces the lives of the men to their beginnings in Spain and follows their careers after the episode in Cajamarca.
