Extractions: Biographic Sources On Spaniards In The New World, 16th-17th Centuries Petitions for Jobs And Money A huge amount of information on individual Spanish settlers in the New world is available. Much comes from petitions - Probanzas de Servicios y Writos -for jobs sent to the king and Council of the Indies. As well as such petitions hundred of autobiographies by church men of the period survive - e.g. at least 355 from 1607 to 1809 in the archdiocesan archive. All this makes possible a social history of Spanish settlement. True Reports Concerning Persons Who Took Part in the Conquest of New Spain and the City of Mexico, Who Went Thither with the Marquis del Valle JUAN XARAMILLO, DECEASED He says that he is a resident of this city and a native of Villanueva de Balcarrota, son of Alonzo Xaramillo and Mencia de Matos.

Do we want to be the discoverers or the discoverees? Too bad we can't go back a few hundred years and get input from discoverees like the Incas or any number of Native American tribes. They'd have a strong point of view. Perhaps a far broader view is necessary. Our astronauts, including those of Columbia, and everyone else involved in the space program might be doing the human race a bigger favor than we realize. The late Carl Sagan would point out that there are probably other civilizations out there. He estimated that as many as 1 million advanced civilizations live in our galaxy, which is but one of "bill-yons and bill-yons" of galaxies, as he'd famously say. Sagan was certain that the odds favor contact between our race and another, and a lot of scientists agree.

Extractions: Print this article Colombian exchange The long-term effects of the Conquest are no less fascinating. The 'Columbian Exchange' as modern historians call it, brought the potato, the pineapple, the turkey, dahlias, sunflowers, magnolias, maize, chillies and chocolate across the Atlantic. On the other hand, tens of millions died in the pandemics of the 16th century, victims of smallpox, measles and the other diseases brought by Europeans (and don't forget that the African slave trade was begun by the Europeans, to replace the work force they had decimated). Then, after the defeat and extermination of the native societies, came the arrival of the European settler class and the appropriation of the native lands and natural resources. From this process has emerged the modern US empire. The effects on the economies of the world were no less marked as it shifted the centre of gravity of civilisation to the countries of the Atlantic seaboard and their offshoots in the New World. However, the story is also one of history's greatest adventures. The opening up of the continent involved unparalleled journeys of exploration with almost unbelievable bravery, endurance, cruelty and greed. For instance, Almagro's 6,000km expedition to explore the wastes of Chile, or de Soto's fateful three-year march through a dozen US states - a tale only now being untangled by US historians. Then there are the extraordinary explorations across the Andes, deep into Venezuela and Colombia in the 1530s, journeys which gave birth to the alluring legend of El Dorado. It was the dream of El Dorado that fired Gonzalo Pizarro's 18-month expedition across the Ecuadorian Andes: 'the worst journey ever in the Indies', it was said. However, it led by accident to the discovery and descent of the Amazon. When all is said and done, it is no exaggeration to say that these are some of the greatest land explorations in history.

Extractions: [an error occurred while processing this directive] Spanish Exploration By the early 1500s, Spain was well entrenched in the New World. The Spanish colonial empire stretched from South America to the northern Mexican frontier. The unexplored wilderness north of Mexico still remained a mystery. Then, in 1536, three Spaniards and a Moroccan slave stumbled out of the Soronan desert and into the surprised embrace of their fellow countrymen. Francisco Vasquez de Coronado. Eight years earlier, the quartet had been members of large expedition seeking gold in Florida. A disastrous shipwreck and subsequent mishaps resulted in the deaths of all but four of the conquistadors. After years of captivity and deprivation, the survivors slowly made their way across the American Southwest, perhaps touching parts of Arizona and New Mexico. Nearing their end, they crossed the Rio Grande River (near today's El Paso) into Mexico. Among the fantastic stories they told, one related to the legendary Seven Cities of Gold. Although the foursome never saw the Seven Cities themselves, the mere possibility of untold riches was enough to ignite a headlong expansion into the North American continent.
