Summary: "The Crimson Conquest: A Romance of Pizarro and Peru" by Charles B. Hudson is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set during the early Spanish conquests in South America, focusing on the expeditions led by Francisco Pizarro. The main characters introduced include Lieutenant Cristoval de Peralta and Pedro, a one-legged cook, showcasing their interactions amid the backdrop of fortune-seeking adventurers and the complex dynamics of war and betrayal in the New World. The opening of the novel paints a vivid picture of the bustling plaza of Panama at sunset in 1531, as soldiers and adventurers mingle, eagerly discussing the spoils from Pizarro’s recent expedition to Peru. Lieutenant Cristoval de Peralta is depicted as a sturdy cavalier amid this throng, while Pedro, the comedic and resourceful cook, is determined to join the expedition despite his disability. The chapter illustrates the blend of ambition, camaraderie, and the looming dangers of the expedition as recruits enlist with hopes of wealth, setting the stage for battles, intrigues, and the clash between Spanish conquerors and the Inca Empire. The reader is introduced to a world filled with adventure and the allure of conquest, dotted with both humor and tension as these characters navigate their fates amid the broader historical events unfolding.
