Soto, Hernando or Fernando de. Narratives of the career of Hernando de Soto in the conquest of Florida; ed. by E. G. Bourne. [**]$2. Barnes.
“A complete and authoritative ‘Narrative of the career of Hernando De Soto,’ as found in the original documents, chiefly based on the diary of Rodrigo Rangel, his private secretary, together with an account of the great expedition to the Southwest of the United States, translated from Oviedo’s ‘Historia general y natural de las Indias’ by Buckingham Smith. There is an historical introduction by Edward Gaylord Bourne, professor of history in Yale university. The conquest of Florida is told by a knight who was a member of the expedition. Several portraits, hitherto unpublished, of De Soto himself appear in the volume, to which is appended his life and some of his letters.”—R. of Rs.
“Prof. Bourne’s editorship is of the best, and the translation excellent reading.”
