Description/Notes |
|
|
-Southwest, New -Discovery and exploration In this deeply affecting novel Scott O'Dell envelops the reader in the heroic world of the conquistadors--a world that is at once somber and many-colored. Though they may have been ruthless, these steel-helmeted young men of Spain lived their lives on the very edge of eternity with style and uncommon courage. While awaiting trial for murder and withholding from the king the obligatory fifth of the gold found in Cibola, Esteban, a seventeen-year-old cartographer, recalls his adventures with a band of conquistadors. |
