About the author

Bernal Díaz del Castillo

1496–1584

A foot soldier in the Spanish conquest of Mexico, he became the sharp-eyed chronicler who later turned those brutal campaigns into one of the era’s most vivid firsthand accounts. His writing is remembered for its immediacy, detail, and insistence on telling the story as he saw it.
