Before there were coins in the New World, before there were Spanish Treasure Fleets, and even before there were any kind of European colonies in Mexico, the conquistador Hernan Cortes and his men, through the Tarascan Conquest by Cristobal de Olid in 1522, discovered a new precious-metal mix that led to an improvised manufacture of so-called "tumbaga" bars: a group of over 200 silver and gold ingots discovered in the remains of an unidentified ca.-1528 shipwreck off Grand Bahama Island in 1993.These rare silver "tumbaga" bars found in 1993 are now a step closer to full understanding. Through a study of contemporary accounts, archeological research and historical sources, it is theorized that these strange ingots were manufactured by the Spanish using a unique copper-silver "alloy" forged by the Tarascans in Mexico as a source for their ornaments and offerings, a particular type of metal the Spanish called "metal of Michoacan," seized by the conquistadors in a single episode within the vast story of the conquest of Mexico during the 1520s.This book is divided into three parts: The first part chronicles the earliest documents relating to the treasure accumulated by Hernan Cortes during his conquest of the Aztec empire. The second part concerns the later phase of conquest, specifically Captain Cristobal de Olid's campaign in the region of the Tarascan kingdom in western Mexico. The third and final part discusses technical aspects of these bars based on an interpretation of their markings and manufacture.The specimens studied in this book are the only ones known to exist-all of them from the same wreck-and therefore they will always be of the utmost rarity and historical importance. The book contains a data matrix for all 194 bars, including their weights, measurements, markings and descriptions. Also featured are plates of 60 selected bars, maps, native drawings and charts. Additionally there is a list of the names and roles of over 100 people from the "tumbaga" period, and an appendix with new translations from the Seven Decrees of Charles V Pertaining to the Circulation of Gold and Silver in the Americas and key chapters of Bernal Diaz del Castillo's Historia Verdadera De La Conquista De La Nueva Espana.152 pages, Special Limited Hardcover Color Edition, charts and maps, author Agustin A.

Based on the exceptional and fascinating eyewitness account of a seventeenth-century Spanish padre, Dave Horner's Shipwreck is the absorbing and true story of two immense galleons that were lost (along with hundreds of passengers and millions of pesos in treasure) to disasters at sea. Shipwreck is an extraordinary literary adventure which interweaves accounts of the many attempts throughout the past three centuries to recover the sunken treasure, including the recent discovery and salvage of one of the galleons by Dave Horner himself. Shipwreck is an outstanding history of true adventure on the high seas, past and present, which is wonderfully enhanced for the reader with 50 photographic illustrations, six maps, four line drawings, seven appendices, as well as bibliographies of archival sources, institutions, original documents or primary works, and a general listing of thematically appropriate titles for further suggested readings.

Zarzuela en cuatro actos en prosa y verso, El cortejo de la Irene es una de las primeras colaboraciones de Fernández Shaw con el músico Ruperto Chapí. La trama, situada en Aranjuez,1808, inicia con un contrapunto festivo de hombres y mujeres jóvenes que se cortejan, las últimas escapando al control de sus mayores. Entre los muchachos de la zona circula el rumor de que hay un misterioso pretendiente madrileño para la Irene, admirada por más de uno. En paralelo se está preparando el motín contra Godoy. Una vez más, la historia personal y la historia social se entrelazarán vertiginosamente. Carlos Fernández Shaw (Cádiz, 1865 - El Pardo, 1911) fue un prolífico dramaturgo, periodista y poeta español. Identificado en retrospectiva como pre-modernista, ocupó un lugar prominente en el Ateneo de Madrid. Escribió en distintos medios de prensa gráfica, especialmente para el diario La época. Como dramaturgo, hizo el libreto de La vida breve en la puesta teatral musicalizada por Manuel de Falla y co-escribió La revoltosa junto a José López Silva, entre muchos otros logros. Sus obras en verso más conocidas seguramente sean Poesías de la sierra y Poesías del mar. Sus cuentos fueron recopilados de manera póstuma en La pícara Olalla.
