This work is a firsthand chronicle of Schmidel's experiences as he traveled from Europe to the New World, detailing the early expeditions to the Río de la Plata and Paraguay in the 16th century. The narrative provides insights into the lives of indigenous peoples, the struggles faced by European colonizers, and the complex dynamics of early colonial ventures in South America. The opening of the account introduces Ulrich Schmidel, who embarked on a journey to the Río de la Plata as a young soldier in the service of D. Pedro de Mendoza. It details the initial preparations for the expedition, the composition of the fleet, and the challenges they faced during the voyage, such as a violent hurricane that scattered the ships. Upon arriving in the New World, Schmidel recounts the first encounters between the Spanish forces and the indigenous populations, illustrating the harsh realities of colonial conquest, including hunger, disease, and conflict with native tribes. The beginning sets the stage for a detailed exploration of the challenges, triumphs, and interactions that defined early colonial life in this uncharted territory.
