Francisco Pizarro: References & Edit History
More Articles On This Topic
Additional Reading
Although not strictly concerned with Pizarro’s actual life story, William H. Prescott, History of the Conquest of Peru, 2 vol. (1847, reissued in 3 vol., 1968), and Clements R. Markham, A History of Peru (1892, reissued 1968), are two classic accounts of the Pizarro brothers’ exploits. Modern appraisals of the Pizarros’ feat include Hammond Innes, The Conquistadors (1969, reissued 1986), lavishly illustrated; Manuel Ballesteros Gaibrois, Francisco Pizarro (1940), and Descubrimiento y conquista del Perú (1963); and John Hemming, The Conquest of the Incas, rev. ed. (1983).
