A highly readable book that becomes a page-turner. In 1531 the fifty-four year-old Francisco Pizarro led a force of 162 men, including his four brothers, to the shores of Peru. Before him lay an empire 2,500 miles long with millions of inhabitants. Unbeknownst to the Spaniards, the Inca rulers of Peru had just fought a bloody battle in which the Emperor Atahaulpa had just defeated his brother Huascar. Pizarro and his men, outnumbered by more than 200 to one prevailed at the Battle of Cajamarca-due largely to their horses, their steel armor and swords, and their tactic of surprise. The events after that to establish control over the empire are fascinating in their intrigue and drama. Contains two final chapters on the discovery of various Inca ruins including the most important at Vilcabamba and Macchu Picchu. As New. New York, 2007 Simon and Schuster 1st Ed., 5 &1/2 x 8&1/4, 522 Pgs., HB.

Built between the 1560s and 1760s the missions were concentrated in what is now northern Florida and southern Georgia, but until recently their existence and influence on the region's native groups has remaimed virtually undetected.
