To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
First among them was a chief, whose name, unfor- tunately, has not been preserved. He was one of those, however, who had drunk of the cup and pledged himself in the mountains of Yucay. Driven from wall to wall and from tower to tower, he and his followers made a heroic defense. The Spanish chroniclers say that when this hero, whose exploits recall the half- mythical legends of the early Roman Republic, when men were as demi-gods, saw one of his men falter, he Peru and the Pizarros 101 stabbed h...im and threw his body upon the Spaniards.
At last he stood alone upon the last tower. The assailants offered him quarter, which he disdained.
Shouting his war-cry of defiance, he dashed his sole remaining weapon in the faces of the escaladers and then hurled himself bodily upon them to die on their sword-points. Let him be remembered as a soldier, a patriot, and a gentleman.
The fortress was gained! Dismayed by the fearful loss that they had sustained, the Peruvians, who had fought so valiantly, if so unsuccessfully, withdrew temporarily.
