Book Review: Two new volumes look to tell the 'epic' history of the Spanish in North America

But Evans had an ulterior, personal motive. He was a newly naturalized Spaniard, one who hardly spoke Spanish but was fluent in his native Welsh—part of a sodality of nationalists who aimed to pry Wales from the British crown, or, failing that, to found a new Wales in America.
