Product Information
Sometimes referred to as the first published manual of guerrilla warfare, Bernardo de Vargas Machuca's Indian Militia and Description of the Indies is actually the first known manual of counterinsurgency, or anti-guerrilla warfare. Published in Madrid in 1599 by a Spanish-born soldier of fortune with long experience in the Americas, the book is a training manual for conquistadors. The Aztec and Inca Empires had long since fallen by 1599, but Vargas Machuca argued that many more Native American peoples remained to be conquered and converted to Roman Catholicism. What makes his often shrill and self-righteous treatise surprising is his consistent praise of indigenous resistance techniques and medicinal practices. Containing advice on curing rattlesnake bites with amethysts and making saltpeter for gunpowder from concentrated human urine, The Indian Militia is a manual in four parts, the first of which outlines the ideal qualities of the militia commander. Addressing the organization and outfitting of conquest expeditions, Book Two includes extended discussions of arms and medicine. Book Three covers the proper behavior of soldiers, providing advice on marching through peaceful and bellicose territories, crossing rivers, bivouacking in foul weather, and carrying out night raids and ambushes. Book Four deals with peacemaking, town-founding, and the proper treatment of conquered peoples. Appended to these four sections is a brief geographical description of all of Spanish America, with special emphasis on the indigenous peoples of New Granada (roughly modern-day Colombia), followed by a short guide to the southern coasts and heavens. This first English-language edition of The Indian Militia includes an extensive introduction, a posthumous report on Vargas Machuca's military service, and a selection from his unpublished attack on the writings of Fray Bartolom de Las Casas.

Reviews
"Once again, Kris Lane (this time, along with translator Timothy F. Johnson) has taken on a difficult project that others might consider too much of a challenge, and unlikely to produce anything in the way of 'academic splash.' And, once again, he, together with Johnson, has turned the project on its head, through careful research and a skilled writing style, to generate a first-rate example of a second-rate 'conquistador.'" - Karen Vieira Powers, A Contracorriente, "The Indian Militia and Description of the Indies will contribute to a deeper understanding of topics such as the history of science, the history of medicine, the story of Spanish colonization, and ethnohistory. Kris Lane's lively, literate introduction does a fine job of contextualizing the text and its contents as well as the life and times of Bernardo de Vargas Machuca."-Susan Elizabeth Ramírez, author of To Feed and Be Fed: The Cosmological Bases of Authority and Identity in the Andes"This volume is a wonderful addition to the English-language historiography of colonial Latin America."-J. Michael Francis, author of Invading Colombia: Spanish Accounts of the Gonzalo Jiménez de Quesada Expedition of Conquest, “ The Indian Militia and Description of the Indies will contribute to a deeper understanding of topics such as the history of science, the history of medicine, the story of Spanish colonization, and ethnohistory. Kris Lane’s lively, literate introduction does a fine job of contextualizing the text and its contents as well as the life and times of Bernardo de Vargas Machuca.â€�- Susan Elizabeth Ram rez , author of To Feed and Be Fed: The Cosmological Bases of Authority and Identity in the Andes, " The Indian Militia and Description of the Indies will contribute to a deeper understanding of topics such as the history of science, the history of medicine, the story of Spanish colonization, and ethnohistory. Kris Lane's lively, literate introduction does a fine job of contextualizing the text and its contents as well as the life and times of Bernardo de Vargas Machuca."- Susan Elizabeth Ramírez , author of To Feed and Be Fed: The Cosmological Bases of Authority and Identity in the Andes, "In translating Bernardo Vargas Machuca's Indian Militia (Milícia Indiana) and Description of the Indies , Kris Lane and Timothy F. Johnson have provided English-speakers with the first glimpse into the experiences of one of Spanish America's most important military writers. Beyond its value to military historians, the text also contains valuable information on the colonial history of New Granada, as well as information for the burgeoning field of natural history in the Americas. Because Vargas provides little information regarding the location of the events he described, Kris Lane's introduction usefully places him in northern South America, identifies the native peoples he fails to name and provides the necessary geographic and historical context that the text itself does not provide." - Patricia Seed, Journal of Military History, " The Indian Militia and Description of the Indies will contribute to a deeper understanding of topics such as the history of science, the history of medicine, the story of Spanish colonization, and ethnohistory. Kris Lane's lively, literate introduction does a fine job of contextualizing the text and its contents as well as the life and times of Bernardo de Vargas Machuca."-- Susan Elizabeth Ramírez , author of To Feed and Be Fed: The Cosmological Bases of Authority and Identity in the Andes, "Though unequivocally directed at assisting the speedy conquest of still independent indigenous groups, Milicia indiana offers fascinating insights into the transformative effects of long residence in the Indies. . . . This is a smooth translation, engagingly introduced, which raises many questions that historians will no doubt wish to pursue further." - Caroline A. Williams, Hispanic American Historical Review, "In translating Bernardo Vargas Machuca's Indian Militia (Milcia Indiana) and Description of the Indies , Kris Lane and Timothy F. Johnson have provided English-speakers with the first glimpse into the experiences of one of Spanish America's most important military writers.

Michael Francis, author of Invading Colombia: Spanish Accounts of the Gonzalo Jimnez de Quesada Expedition of Conquest "In a new edition of The Indian Militia , Timothy F. Johnson's translation and Kris Lane's introduction and footnote commentaries faithfully render the conquistador's viewpoint. This edition includes the approvals and dedications originally introducing Vargas Machuca's work; the four books comprising its main content; and several separate chapters that the conquistador wrote on the flora and fauna, hydrography, geography, and astronomy of the Indies. Johnson and Lane have also added the posthumous record of Vargas Machuca's services to the Crown and an excerpt from his The Defense of Western Conquests (c.1603), an angry critique of the writings of Bartolom de Las Casas...this edition of The Indian Militia will be of interest to both specialists and general audiences. Historians of science and medicine, early imperial expansion, and Colombian history will find it informative for their research. Taken together with Lane's introduction, which offers general background on the history of the conquest, The Indian Militia could serve as a fruitful primary source in the classroom and a useful counterweight to standard conquest narrators like Bernal Daz del Castillo and Fray Bernardino de Sahagn." - Jesse Cromwell, H-LatAm, " The Indian Militia and Description of the Indies will contribute to a deeper understanding of topics such as the history of science, the history of medicine, the story of Spanish colonization, and ethnohistory.

Established scholars, graduate students, and undergraduates will all benefit from having this volume in a convenient edition available for study or teaching." - Ronald H.

Schwaller, The Americas, "This volume is a wonderful addition to the English-language historiography of colonial Latin America."-- J.
