This classic in the literature of the European exploration and settlement of the New World has never until now been available in the English language. Its author, born in 1671, was descended from a noble Spanish family and was a learned and influential member of Caracas society. His Historia de la conquista y poblacion de la provincia de Venezuela is widely regarded as a literary masterpiece and a major historical work. It has been read and acclaimed throughout the world. Jeannette Varner's sensitive translation will be welcomed by English-speaking Latin Americanists everywhere. The work is an accurate and absorbing narration of the early history of Venezuela, from Christopher Columbus's arrival on August 1, 1498, on his third voyage to the New World, until its sack by the British corsair, Sir Francis Drake, at the end of the sixteenth century. Based firmly on the histories of official chroniclers and early historians of Venezuela, its first four book are a matchless introduction to the subject and provide valuable background for scholarly study. The last three books, dealing with the bloody struggle for the domination of Caracas and its vicinity, constitute Oviedo's original contribution to the history of Venezuela. Widely divergent subject matter ranges from the ghastly crimes of the tyrant Lope de Aguirre, who murdered both his priest and his daughter, to the mystic transfiguration of Martin Tinajero, whose body attracted swarms of wild bees with its odor of honey. In his Letras y hombres de Venezuela, Arturo Uslar Pietri calls the book a "song of pride in race and love of the land, an elegy full of sentiment and melody." This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1987.

This book presents the general history of Venezuela, from its conquest, settlement and colonial period to the modern days; and the natural features of the country. Venezuela is a republic of South America, facing the Caribbean sea. "On his third voyage in 1498 Columbus sighted the Venezuelan coast just south of the Windward Islands. A year later, Alonso de Ojeda saw the mainland at about the same place and skirted the coast for four hundred miles west without finding any important break in a line of mountains which rose almost directly from the sea to a height of three to nine thousand feet, covered to their very tops with luxuriant vegetation. But there was no such barrier as that made by the main Andes on the Pacific; the passes were only half a mile instead of nearly three miles high; the slopes were not dry and desolate as in Peru, or covered with a tangled mass of forest as in Pacific Columbia and Ecuador. Just beyond the harbour where Puerto Cabello now stands, the coast-line turned abruptly to the north-west, leaving the mountains farther inland, but the intervening plain was swampy and uninviting. Still following west, Ojeda rounded Cape San Roman and turned south into the great Gulf of Maracaibo. There he saw Indian villages of houses built on piles near the shallow shores, and he called the place Venezuela-"little Venice,"-a name shortly extended to the whole coast from the mouth of the Orinoco west to the forbidding and uninhabitable peninsula of Goajira, which forms the western promontory of the Gulf of Maracaibo..."

The aim of this book is to offer a comprehensive approach to the history of the South American republics since the South American histories written before were mostly treating of special periods, and few authorities existed for post-revolution times. One of the main questions he tried to answer was why there were so many revolutions in South American countries. Constitutional traditions, inherited from Spain and Portugal, implanted a tendency toward disintegration; Spanish and Portuguese tyranny bred in the people a distrust of all rulers and governments; the war of independence brought to the front military adventurers; civil disorders were inevitable, and the search for forms of government that should be final and stable has been very painful. On the other hand, the generous impulse that prompted the movement toward independence has grown into an earnest desire for ordered liberty, which was steadily spreading among all classes, resulting in a slow evolution toward republicanism._x000D_ Volume 1:_x000D_ Argentina:_x000D_ The Argentine Land_x000D_ The Spanish Colonial System_x000D_ Completion of the War of Independence_x000D_ The Era of Civil Wars_x000D_ The Modern Argentine_x000D_ Paraguay:_x000D_ Paraguay Until 1632_x000D_ The Jesuit Republic and Colonial Paraguay_x000D_ The War_x000D_ Uruguay:_x000D_ Portuguese Aggressions and the Settlement of the Country_x000D_ The Revolution_x000D_ Independence and Civil War_x000D_ Brazil:_x000D_ Discovery_x000D_ Early Colonization_x000D_ Independence_x000D_ Events of 1849 to 1864_x000D_ Republicanism and Emancipation_x000D_ Volume 2:_x000D_ Peru:_x000D_ The Inca Empire_x000D_ The Spanish Conquest_x000D_ The Wars of Independence_x000D_ Chile:_x000D_ The Spanish Conquest_x000D_ The Colonial Period_x000D_ The War of Independence_x000D_ The Formative Period_x000D_ Bolivia:_x000D_ The Conquest and the Mines_x000D_ The War of Independence_x000D_ Bolivia Independent_x000D_ Ecuador:_x000D_ The Spanish Conquest_x000D_ The War of Independence_x000D_ The Formation of Ecuador_x000D_ Modern Ecuador_x000D_ Venezuela:_x000D_ Conquest, Settlement, and Colonial Days_x000D_ The Revolt_x000D_ Modern Venezuela_x000D_ Colombia:_x000D_ Conquest and Settlement_x000D_ Colonial Times_x000D_ The War against Spain_x000D_ Modern Colombia_x000D_ Panama:_x000D_ The Events Leading to Independence
