ACUÑA, Cristobal de (ah-koon'-ya), Spanish Jesuit
missionary, born in Burgos, Spain, in 1597; died about 1676. He was attached to
Texeira's Amazon expedition in 1639-'41, with the special object of reporting
the incidents of the exploration. On his return to Spain he published his "
Nuevo Descubrimiento del Gran Rio de las Amazons." All the copies of this work,
except two, were unfortunately destroyed, but from these Gomberville into French
made a translation in 1684.
Although great interest was excited by the expedition, the
distractions in the mother country prevented the government from taking any
marked interest in the colonization of the region to which so much energy and
talent had been devoted. Acuña afterward went to the West Indies, thence
returned to South America, and died while on his way from Panama to Lima.
