the Discovery and Conquest of Mexico 1517-1521 . Bernal Diaz Del Castillo , (Conquistador) . English translation of eye witness account first published in 1575.

heavy going , this translation was done in 1908 so the style of writing takes a bit of getting used to , plus many of the place names have changed over the years
