"Vasco Nuñez de Balboa" by Frederick A. Ober is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work details the life and adventures of Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, one of the early explorers of the Americas, focusing on his exploration of the Isthmus of Panama and his significant discoveries, including the Pacific Ocean. The opening of the book introduces a pivotal moment from Balboa's life, revealing his humble beginnings as part of an expedition led by Rodrigo de Bastidas. Through a series of events, Balboa's fortunes shift, and he finds himself in Santo Domingo, burdened with debts and seeking a way out of his predicament. As he navigates through political intrigue, his character is established as both ambitious and resourceful. He eventually takes drastic steps for his ambitions, including stowing away on a ship bound for exploration, setting the stage for his future conquests and the unfolding drama of his life in the New World.
