114 views2 pagesPage 39: The Non-Hero Summary: Juan Villa Letters and People of The Spanish Indies Assignment 3/16/16
This letter was written in 1527 by Maestre Baltasar while in the Gallo Islands off Ecuador. He wrote to his brother in Panama describing the difficulties of establishing themselves in Ecuador after Pizarro's arrival. Baltasar explained how the Spanish leaders had no wilderness survival experience despite being major financial investors, and how an economic hierarchy developed between Spaniards trading goods for food and supplies. Transactions were recorded by a notary to charge borrowers later in Spain. He also noted Native Americans and African slaves played crucial roles helping the Spanish through guidance, cooking, carrying tools and more.
