The Expedition of Pedro de Ursua and Lope de Aguirre in Search of El Dorado and Omagua in 1560–1

The publications of the Hakluyt Society (founded in 1846) made available edited (and sometimes translated) early accounts of exploration. This 1861 volume contains an early account of the most notorious sixteenth-century expedition in search of El Dorado, that of Lope de Aguirre, whose cruelty and treachery became legendary.
