The Forgotten Conquistador

Although titled Cabrillo, this book deals mostly deals with the conquest of New Spain. It does this because the facts concerning Cabrillo's life are sparse, but it also provides a picture of what his contemporaries were like. However, the parts directly concerning Cabrillo reveal a man of action, and wisdom. On his voyage up the California coast, he treats the natives that he encounters with more respect than his fellow conquistadors would. If you live in Ca or are just interested in the Age of Exploration this book is worth the couple of hours it takes to read.
