Book Description
Excerpt from The Crayon Miscellany, Vol. 3: Containing Legends of the Conquest of Spain When the nation had recovered in some de gree from the efl'ects of this astounding blow, or rather, had become accustomed to the tre mendons reverse which it produced, and sage men sought to inquire and write the particulars, it was too late to ascertain them in their exact verity. The gloom and melancholy that had overshadowed the land, had given birth to a thousand superstitious fancies; the woes and terrors of the past, were clothed with superna tural miracles and pox-tents, and the actors in the fearful drama, had already assumed the dubious characteristics of romance. Or if a writer from among the conquerors undertook to touch upon the theme, it was embellished with all the wild extravagancies of an oriental ima gination; which afterwards stole into the graver works of the monkish historians.
