Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: Mt dear Lads, The conquest of Mexico, an extensive empire with a numerous and warlike population, by a mere handful of Spaniards is one of the romances of history; indeed, a writer of fiction would scarcely have dared to invent so improbable a story. Even the bravery of the Spaniards and the advantage of superior arms would not have sufficed to give them the victory, had it not been that Mexico was ripe for disruption. The A ztecs, instead of conciliating by wise and gentle government the peoples they had conquered, treated them with such despotic harshness that they were ready to ally themselves with the invaders, and to join with them heartily against the central power; so that instead of battling against an empire single-handed, the Spaniards had really only to war with a great city, and were assisted by a vast army of auxiliaries. Fortunately, the details of the extraordinary expedition of Cortez were fully related by contemporary writers, several of whom were eye-witnesses of the scenes they described. It was not necessary for me, however, to revert to these, as Prescott in his admirable work on the conquest of Mexico has given a summary of them, and has drawn a most vivid pictiue of the events of the campaign.
