Tomado del prólogo: "This booklet has been prepared for those visitors to the ruined capital of colonial Guatemala who have not had opportunity to read the arly chronicles. It is based upon the letters which Alvarado wrote to his chief Cortés, describing the Conquest; upon the Annals of the Cakchiquels, in which this same drama was viewed from a different angle: upon the history of the colonial period as recounted by such excellent men as Fray Antonio de Remesal, who wrote in 1619, Domingo Juarros, one-time Archbishop of Guatemala, and Francisco Antonio Fuentes y Guzmán, who lived here at the end of the seventeenth century; upon the anecdotes of Frair Gage, who must have had his tongue in his cheek when he wrote them; and upon more recent works, notably those of José Milla, Antonio Batres Jáuregui, and Victor Miguel Díaz, in which have been brought together all the wealth of lore which has come down from the grand old days. So, when you have read the tale, when you are prepared to see that battle-scarred old hero, Bernal Díaz del Castillo, ride through the cobbled streets, his sword clanking by his side; when you are ready to meet good Bishop Marroquin as he steps down from the chancel after saying mass: go to Antigua." --
