The Last Days of the Incas
by Kim MacQuarrie
(◕‿◕✿)
Feel free to comment on a book you think Seabury (and other) readers would enjoy, in this category.
Can we add Kim MacQuarrie's The Last Days of the Incas to this list? It tells the story of Pissaro's conquest of the Inca Empire in a very readable narrative style. The story begins with the backdrop of the Inca just before the Spaniards' arrival and continues through the last emperors attempts to wage a guerrilla war from their jungle capital in the valley of Vilcabamba. Amazing story, but very sad. The book ends with the true stories of the discoveries of Macchu Pichu and Vilcabamba by Peruvian farmers and American explorers. Highly recommended!
