Book excerpt: This is a detailed history of a Mexican sugar plantation. The subject of the study is the Cortés plantation, which was established on the outskirts of Cuernavaca in about 1535 by Hernán Cortés. Cortés or Cortéz (1485-1547) was the Spanish conquistador who overthrew the the Aztec empire (1519-1521) and won Mexico for Spain. In 1529 he was named Marqués del Valle de Oaxaca (Marquis of the Valley of Oaxaca). The Cortés mill was unusual in the continuity of ownership, since for nearly four centuries, from about 1535 until the 20th century, it remained in the hands of the heirs and descendants of the Conqueror of New Spain.
