Publisher: Good Press
Summary
"The Fair God or The Last of the 'Tzins" is an account of the European conquest of Mexico. While showing sincere interest in the lost Aztec culture, Wallace presents Cortez and the Spaniards are egotistical and filled with racial hatred, all justified by a belief in Christianity. The Spaniards ignored the teachings of Christ in pursuit of conquest, which led to the extinguishing of the complete nation.
