After the retreat of the Noche Triste, Cortés returns as a strategist determined to win back what he lost. Written in 1522, the Third Letter tells of the bloodiest campaign of the conquest of Mexico.
The text details the brigantines, ships assembled piece by piece to control Lake Texcoco, the siege that choked the Aztec capital and the resistance of Cuauhtémoc, while hunger and smallpox sealed the fate of a people.
