I have paid special attention to all such facts as are either difficult or not at all to be found in former liter ature in any methodical form. With this object in view, I have readily sacrificed the idea of writing an evenly balanced and classical composition, allowing the largest space to events and circumstances which are the least known to the American public or not known at all to professed historians themselves even though, in general history, these particulars should be of minor importance. Nor was it my only intention to teach things unknown, but also to correct some errors in regard to ancient American history that have been, knowingly or unknowingly, brought forth on the occasion of the late Columbian centenary.
