Frontispiece: Martín de Murúa's 1590 image of the Cerro Rico de Potosí with pillars held by "El Inca" (Galvin Ms. f.141v.) Introductory Study "Such is the power of money, for the sake of which men do and suffer so much." - José de Acosta, describing Potosí in his c.1590 Natural & Moral History of the Indies, Duke UP ed., p.181 According to several Spanish writers it was early in the year 1545 that a native Andean man known either as Gualpa or Guanca happened upon an outcrop of silver ore while chasing either a llama, a guanaco, or a deer up the side of a conical red peak in the southern highlands of what is today the landlocked Republic of Bolivia. The reddish mountain, possibly known as Potoc'chi, was not terribly high by Andean standards, but at just under 5,000 meters above sea level it did command an impressive view. The horizon was dominated by lumpy, barren puna, with glimpses of vast salt flats framed by distant cordilleras. According to most early accounts, there was no evidence of Inca or other pre- Hispanic mining activity on the red mountain's flanks. Not far off, about a half-day's journey southwest, were the former Inca mines of Porco, where Gualpa or Guanca was working as a yanacona or personal retainer for his Spanish overlord, whose surname was Villaroel. Porco's silver mines were rich, but most had quickly flooded due to the high water table, driving up costs and diminishing returns. It was standard Spanish practice in the Americas following classical and medieval religious examples to say animals had led innocent native youths and maidens to treasure, which the civilized and worthy Spanish themselves then benefited from and put to good use. Fortunately, we have an account that seems to be from Mr. Gualpa himself, or as close to him as we may get. In 1572, on orders of just-arrived Viceroy Francisco de Toledo, a Spanish priest interviewed the nearly seventy-year-old man as he lay dying in his home. He was by this time known as don Diego Gualpa, the 'don' signifying noble ancestry. He claimed to have been from the Cusco-area province of Chumbivilcas, a retainer for the ill-fated Inca Huascar, a keeper of sacred feathers. He was also at Cajamarca, he said, when Francisco Pizarro and his followers captured the Inca Atawallpa in November of 1532. The namesake Gualpa there attached himself to a Portuguese soldier who used him but also protected him and he ended up in Porco mining silver a few years later. (see Matienzo cap. 8 on Porco/Potosi yanaconas vs. other types) Gualpa was indeed a yanacona, and he claimed that he and others routinely passed the hill or mountain of Potosi (he does not call it Potoc'chi) on their way back and forth between Porco and La Plata, or Chuquisaca, a more temperate town and soon to be regional capital on the eastern slope of the Andes. Gonzalo Pizarro, the marquis's younger brother, had even ordered some test diggings opened low on the mountain's slopes, but they had not produced results. The occasion Diego Gualpa gave for his discovery of the great mines of the Cerro Rico was that he and a friend had been sent to the mountain's summit to search for an offering, or huaca, dedicated to the mountain's spirit. The pair did indeed find an offering, he claimed, which they removed and took down the hill to deliver to their Spanish masters. Presumably it included gold and silver objects, but the testimony offers no details. On the way downhill the two were separated, according to don Diego Gualpa, who said he was hit by a gust of wind so powerful it flattened him and nearly knocked him out. As he lifted himself up he saw that one of his hands was marked by a greasy, dark soil that he recognized right away as pay dirt. He brought several pounds of it to Porco to refine and found it quite rich, but his current master and other Spaniards were not convinced that the ore had come from the hill already called Potosi. Finally, one Spaniard accompanied Gualpa back to the hill, but again the wind kicked up, and was soon so fierce that it dashed the Spaniard to the ground and blew off his hat, angering him so much that he began to beat and curse Gualpa. The two soon returned to Porco, where word of Gualpa's discovery reached the man called Villaroel, a Spaniard who moved quickly to stake claims, aided by his yanacona named Chalco. No llamas nor deer nor upturned roots appear in Gualpa's story, but wind figures prominently. Wayra, the Quechua word for wind, would continue to be providential in Potosi for several decades. Yet even this seemingly native account of Potosi's discovery smacks of Catholic legend, of the innocent yokel who witnesses an apparition, only to struggle desperately with supposedly learned authorities to prove it. (thank Ken M. for this, via W. Christian) The first Spanish conquistadors in the Andes, including the brothers Gonzalo and Hernando Pizarro, had been led to the Porco mines soon after the fall of the Inca empire, and in 1545, when Gualpa found silver ore on Potoc'chi, the so-called Peruvian Civil War was in full swing. We learn from several testimonies that the early miners of Potosi were pillaged by both crown and rebel forces. The uprising ended in 1548 with the capture and execution of Gonzalo Pizarro. The citizens of Potosi and Porco henceforth went out of their way to proclaim their loyalty to the crown, and one of the Rich Hill's four major veins was named for the royalist captain Diego Centeno, killer of several Pizarro partisans.

  • Translating Landscape: the Colombian Chorographic Commission
    Translating landscape: the Colombian Chorographic Commission Verónica Uribe Hanabergh, PhD.1 ARTICLE INFO ABSTRACT Available Online January 2014 In 1850 the Colombian government developed a project to survey the Key words: landscape of this newly formed nation. Scientists, writers, and artists Colombia; were invited to make part of the project led by the Italian military, Chorographic Commission; geographer and cartographer- Agustin Codazzi. After nine years and landscape survey; three different artists, the Commission had many watercolor drawings Romanticism; that portrayed a landscape, not only in its physical traits, but also in its Watercolors; social, economic and agricultural development. Through the lens of building of the modern nation. these artists, the drawings that concluded the survey showed a landscape that was truly original but that was also seen through the lens of a certain romantic eye inherited by a firm European legacy. As a result, these watercolors show the different regions, people, and means of transportation, crops and trades. The Colombian Chorographic Commission was an important project in the construction of the Colombian modern nation, a country that was constantly divided by federalist and centralist politics, liberal and conservative parties. An interesting union between science, politics and art, these drawings represent the process of the modernization of nineteenth-century Colombia. I. Introduction During the course of Colombian nineteenth-century history, three historical journeys were essential to the construction of this nation and its identity: The Botanical Expedition, Alexander von Humboldt’s South American journey, and the Chorographic Commission. The first of these journeys is linked to an eighteenth- century enlightened idea of travel rather than to the more national character-constructing voyage of the nineteenth-century.

Dissertation Advisors: James Hankins, Tamar Herzog Stuart Michael McManus The Global Lettered City: Humanism and Empire in Colonial Latin America and the Early Modern World Abstract Historians have long recognized the symbiotic relationship between learned culture, urban life and Iberian expansion in the creation of “Latin” America out of the ruins of pre-Columbian polities, a process described most famously by Ángel Rama in his account of the “lettered city” (ciudad letrada). This dissertation argues that this was part of a larger global process in Latin America, Iberian Asia, Spanish North Africa, British North America and Europe.

  • Introduction
    Introduction A real cédula, addressed to the tribunal of accounts, or audit court, of Santa Fe de Bogotá on May 27, 1717, informed its members that Philip V, the first Bourbon king of Spain, had decided to create a new viceroyalty in northern South America. Other high-ranking civil and religious authorities across the region received similar documents communicating this decision. According to these documents, a number of “effective reasons of congruency” had convinced the king that it would be “most convenient” to appoint a viceroy to replace the president, governor and captain-general who had so far headed the audien- cia of Santa Fe.1 These documents further explained that the newly created viceroyalty of the New Kingdom of Granada would comprise “the Province of Santa Fe, New Kingdom of Granada, [and] those of Cartagena, Santa Marta, Maracaibo, Caracas, Antioquia, Guyana, Popayan, and San Francisco de Quito”. The audiencia and tribunal of accounts based in Santa Fe became responsible for supervising the government and administration of all these territories to the exclusion of the courts in the viceroyalty of Peru and the audiencias of Santo Domingo, Panama and Quito.2 Thus, the first Bourbon king of Spain established the first new viceroyalty created within the Spanish Monarchy since the mid-sixteenth century. The viceroyalty, of course, was an administrative and political institution with a long tradition within the Spanish world. In 1701, when Philip V became king of Spain, the Spanish Monarchy included 10 such entities: Aragon, Catalonia, Navarre and Valencia within the Iberian Peninsula; Majorca, Naples, Sardinia and Sicily in the Mediterranean; and New Spain and Peru in the Americas.

  • Some Unpublished Letters of Pedro De La Gasca Relating to the Conquest of Peru
    336 American Antiquarian Society. [Oct., SOME UNPUBLISHED LETTERS OF PEDRO DE LA GASCA RELATING TO THE CONQUEST OF PERU BY MARSHALL H. SAVILLE Introduction The final episode in the conquest of Peru was the subjugation of the rebellion under the leadership of Gonzalo Pizarro by the Licentiate Pedro de la Gasea. This event took place between the years 1546 and 1550. The general details of this affair, as also the causes which led to it, are so well known that the merest outline of this chapter of South American history is all that need be presented here. Gonzalo Pizarro, a brother of Francisco Pizarro the conqueror of Peru, headed a revolt against the Spanish Viceroy, Blasco Nunez Vela in 1544. He was soon recognized by the Royal Council, and took possession of Lima. On the return of the Viceroy from a visit to Panama, he was defeated in battle by Pizarro near Quito on January 18, 1546. In the meantime, in order to re-establish the royal authority, the King of Spain selected the Licentiate Casca as Pacifier of Peru, and on September 17, 1545, he was given a royal commission as President of the Council and Pacifier of Peru. Pedro de la Gasea was born in 1492 in the Caballeria de Navarregadilla, a small village near the Barco de Avila. After receiving a primary education he was sent to Salamanca, where he soon gave proof of his great talent and extraordinary application. He was 1917.] Letters of Pedro de la Gasea. 337 appointed a counselor of the Inquisition in Valencia in 1541, and was soon promoted to the office of Visitador.

    El uso táctico de las armas de fuego en las guerras civiles peruanas (1538-1547) antonio espino lópez Universidad Autónoma de Barcelona [email protected] RESUMEN Las nuevas tácticas militares desarrolladas en combate en Europa a raíz de la introducción de las armas de fuego portátiles en la infantería también se experi- mentaron en el Perú en el transcurso de las guerras civiles entre los conquistadores. En el presente artículo, postulo que Francisco de Carvajal, maestre de campo de Gonzalo Pizarro, se adelantó en varios decenios a las tácticas empleadas en Europa a la hora de sostener la cadencia de fuego en batalla. Así, en la batalla de Huarina (1547), Carvajal consiguió desarrollar su propio método para ase- gurar un nutrido fuego de su infantería, el que dependía, más que del número de hombres, del entrenamiento de los mismos y de la cantidad de armas que cada uno portaba en batalla. Palabras clave: Francisco de Carvajal, guerras civiles, armas de fuego, tácticas militares, siglo XVI ABSTRACT During the civil wars between the conquistadores, Peru was a field of experimentation for the new military tactics developed in Europe following the introduction of portable infantry firearms. This article suggests that, however, HIsTORICA XXXVI.2 (2012): 7-48 / ISSN 0252-8894 8 HIsTORICA XXXVI.2 / ISSN 0252-8894 the techniques introduced by Francisco de Carvajal, Gonzalo Pizarro’s field master, predated those used in Europe by several decades, especially regarding the rate of fire in combat. In the battle of Huarina (1547), Carvajal used his own method to ensure his infantry’s ability to deliver heavy fire.

  • The Initial Period and Early Horizon: Chavín De Huántar  Copyright Bruce Owen 2006
    Andean Archaeology and Ethnohistory - Anthro 326: Class 12 The Initial Period and Early Horizon: Chavín de Huántar Copyright Bruce Owen 2006 − Note on dates in Kembel and Rick reading − These are the newest and probably best dates for the IP and EH, based on a better understanding of the site of Chavín − they shift the period boundaries several centuries earlier than previously thought − BUT: the dates they give are all in uncalibrated form − Here they are in calibrated years, rounded to the nearest century: − Initial Period (IP): 2200-1000 cal BC (given as 1800-900 uncal BC) − Early Horizon (EH): 1000-200 cal BC (given as 900-200 uncal BC) − (the two scales happen to almost match around 200 BC) − the discussion here draws heavily on Sylvia Kembel's 2001 Stanford dissertation, which radically revises our view of the Early Horizon and Chavín de Huántar − with lots of information from Richard Burger (1992) − and to a lesser extent on Ivan Ghezzi's recent work dating Chanquillo in the Casma valley − there has been a lot of rethinking going on, and it is not necessarily done yet − Decline on the coast: 1000-700 cal BC: the first part of the Early Horizon − Initial Period U-shaped temples had been built, expanded, and used with only minor overall change in design or (apparently) social context for roughly 1000 years − in some valleys there were several of these centers − by the late Initial Period in the Lurin valley, for example, ten different temple complexes were in use at the same time − each probably serving the people in one small segment
