18. American-born Writers |
Sixteenth-century accounts by American-born or native writers are scarce; most date from the beginning of the seventeenth century. However, neither the passage of time nor their often mixed heritage diminished the early American writers' desire to tell the other side of the story-the story of the vanquished. Two of these early chroniclers were El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega and Felipe Guamán Poma de Ayala.
