Philip Ainsworth Means' 'History of the Spanish Conquest of Yucatan and of the Itzas' is a meticulous and comprehensive account of the Spanish conquest of the Yucatan Peninsula in the 16th century, focusing specifically on the Itza people. Means' book combines historical analysis with eyewitness accounts to provide a vivid portrayal of the events and key figures involved in this significant period of Mesoamerican history. His writing style is both engaging and informative, making it accessible to both scholars and general readers interested in this particular era. Means contextualizes the conquest within the broader narrative of Spanish colonization in the Americas, shedding light on the cultural and political dynamics at play. His attention to detail and thorough research make this book a valuable resource for anyone studying colonial history in the region. Philip Ainsworth Means, a respected historian and anthropologist, brings a wealth of knowledge and expertise to this work, drawing on primary sources and original research to offer a well-rounded perspective on the conquest of Yucatan. His dedication to documenting this often overlooked aspect of the Spanish conquest sets this book apart as a valuable contribution to the field. I highly recommend 'History of the Spanish Conquest of Yucatan and of the Itzas' to readers interested in delving deeper into the complexities of Mesoamerican history and the impact of European colonization.

This looks at the Spanish conquest of the Inca, following Cortes' conquest of the Aztecs. From Chapter 1: "In general it may be said that the Maya culture occupied the peninsula of Yucatan, portions of the states of Tabasco and Chiapas in Mexico, Guatemala, and the northern part of Honduras. That branch of the Mayas who called themselves the Itzas and who form the chief subject of this work occupied the southern portion of Yucatan and the greater part of what is now the Department of Peten in Guatemala. A few decades ago it was the fashion to credit the aboriginal peoples of America with a civilization of enormous antiquity. But the whole trend of modern scientific investigation tends to prove that the American continent was one of the last parts of the world to be settled and that, at the time of the Spanish conquest, the aboriginal cultures were certainly not more than three thousand or so years old. Even this estimate should be understood to include centuries of migratory shiftings and centuries of development along lines which eventually led to the erection of the earlier types of high culture in Middle and South America. Roughly speaking, the time of Christ coincides with the period at which the earliest high cultures in this hemisphere began to flourish."
