Aztecs: Their History, Manners, and Customs (Classic Reprint)

Description

Excerpt from The Aztecs: Their History, Manners, and Customs
While modern Mexico and its inhabitants are to-day well known, Mexico of the past, the Mexico of the Aztecs, is almost ignored. Educated people have a vague idea that in 1519 the Spaniards found on the new continent a vast civilized empire, governed by a ruler named Montezuma, whom they dethroned. Beyond this they know nothing.
Having contributed toward extending a knowledge of the Mexico of the present, I intend to depict (the task is not, I think, too ambitious) the country as it was when conquered by the Spaniards.
