Summary "Historic Tales: The Romance of Reality. Vol. 03 (of 15), Spanish American" by Charles Morris is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume explores the dramatic narratives surrounding Spanish exploration and conquest in the Americas, focusing on figures such as Columbus, Cortez, Pizarro, and others involved in the early interactions between Spanish adventurers and indigenous civilizations. The book balances storytelling with historical analysis, providing a vivid portrayal of events that shaped the New World's history and its subsequent impact on both the native populations and the invaders. The opening of this volume introduces readers to the momentous date of October 12, 1492, when Columbus first sighted the New World. It describes his awe-inspiring view of San Salvador, emphasizing the vibrant beauty of the landscapes and the innocence of the native inhabitants. As Columbus and his crew land, they distribute gifts to the bewildered natives, whose subsequent reaction heralds the dawn of a devastating era brought about by European colonization. The narrative captures the profound mystery and promise of unknown lands, underscoring the tragic irony that this discovery would lead to suffering and upheaval for the indigenous populations. This exposition sets the stage for a series of tales about famous explorers and the profound consequences of their encounters, establishing a framework for the complex relationship that developed between the Old World and the New.
