[edit] The Conquest of New Spain

I translated Bernal Díaz’s The Conquest of New Spain from the original work in Spanish:

“ […] comer carne humana, así como nosotros traemos vaca de las carnicerías, y tenían en todos los pueblos cárceles de madera gruesa a manera de casas, como jaulas, y en ellas metían a engordar muchas indias e indios y muchachos, y estando gordos los sacrificaban y comían. ”

Since I don’t have the translated English book in my personal library I hope that another editor quotes the translated text directly from the published book of Bernal Díaz in English: the above quotation appears in chapter CCVIII. —Cesar Tort 13:01, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
