(3) YA Great Hispanic Heritage series. This biography of the famed Spanish conquistador, about whom there exist few primary sources, lucidly deals with the murkiness surrounding the motive for his journeys to America: was it, as legend has it, to find the fountain of youth, or was it wealth and prestige? Scattered throughout are maps, archival portraits and illustrations, and helpful boxed historical asides on the era. Reading list, timeline, websites. Bib., ind.
