Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Diaz del Castillo , Bernal , 1498 -1593 (search)
Diaz del Castillo, Bernal, 1498-1593
Military officer; born in Medina del Campo, Spain, about 1498; came to America as an adventurer in 1514, joining the expedition of Cordova in 1517, and of Grijalva in 1518.
He served Cortez faithfully and valiantly.
During his adventurous career he was engaged in 119 battles and skirmishes, and was wounded several times.
He wrote a history of the conquest of New Spain, which he completed in 1568, intended to correct the misstatements of Gomara's Chronicle of New Spain, in which nearly all the glory of its conquest was given to Cortez.
Diaz was a rough, unlettered soldier, and his history has been pronounced a collection of fables.
He died in Guatemala, about 1593.
