An Account of the Conquest of Peru Conquest Written By Pedro Sancho Secretary to Pizarro and Scrivener to His Army Translated In'Ro English - Classic Reprint Author:Philip Ainsworth Means The work of Pedro Sancho is one of the most valuable accounts of the Spanish conquest of Peru that we possess.

The virtues, as well as the shortcomings of this account, are so obvious that an extended reference to them here is superfluous.
