| Summary | "Spanish and Portuguese South America during the Colonial Period; Vol. 1 of 2" by Robert Grant Watson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work focuses on the history and exploration of South America during the colonial period, particularly emphasizing the activities of Spanish and Portuguese colonizers and explorers, including notable figures like Columbus and Ojeda. This book aims to provide a comprehensive examination of the early encounters between Europeans and the indigenous peoples of South America, setting the stage for the development of the continent. The opening of the text presents an introductory overview, outlining the author's motivation for writing the work based on their experiences as a diplomat in South America. Watson describes the lack of accessible literature regarding the continent's history and geography during his time, prompting him to compile a historical review of the Spanish and Portuguese colonies. It describes the era before the significant European expeditions, focusing on notable explorers such as Columbus and Ojeda, detailing their journeys and interactions with indigenous populations. This introductory section sets up the detailed exploration and historical narrative that will follow in the subsequent chapters. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
