The Spanish Pioneers is a book by Charles F. Lummis. It presents an outstanding outline of the accomplishments attained by numerous Spanish pioneers in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries.

"The Spanish Pioneers" is the work of Charles F. Lummis, a Puritan on both sides of his house for several generations, and an American to the core. Lummis enrolled in Harvard for college and was a classmate of Theodore Roosevelt, but dropped out during his senior year. Many will be surprised to read the following excerpt from this great work: "The whole policy of Spain toward the Indians of the New World was one of humanity, justice, education, and moral suasion; and though there were of course individual Spaniards who broke the strict laws of their country as to the treatment of the Indians, they were duly punished therefor."Faithful to the original 1893 edition, this is a great read for history buffs and lovers of exploration and daring.
