Summary "The White Conquerors: A Tale of Toltec and Aztec" by Kirk Munroe is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story unfolds during the time of the Aztec Empire and focuses on the clash between the indigenous peoples and the Spanish conquistadors, specifically centered around the character Tlahuicol, a valorous war-chief of the Tlascala, who becomes a prisoner of the Aztecs. As tensions mount in Tenochtitlan, the narrative explores themes of resistance, identity, and the impact of foreign invaders on ancient cultures. At the start of the tale, the festivities in Tenochtitlan loom over the impending sacrifice of Tlahuicol, who remains defiant despite his capture. The night before the great festival dedicated to the Aztecs’ calendar stone sets a somber tone as Tlahuicol reflects on his family and the harsh reality of the Aztec's oppressive rule. Meanwhile, Montezuma, king of the Aztecs, grapples with the unsettling news of white-skinned beings landing on the coast, heralding impending conflict. The chapter establishes a rich backdrop of Aztec culture and highlights Tlahuicol's complex identity and spirit of rebellion against his captors, setting the stage for the ensuing struggles and the fateful intersection of indigenous and European worlds.
