William Hickling Prescott's History of the Conquest of Mexico
presents the conquest of Mexico between 1519 and 1521 in four
volumes. Although blind and having never traveled to the Americas,
Prescott's account of the conquest of the Aztecs is as highly
respected by historians today as it was in the 19th century.

With its vivid language and bold strokes, the magnificent History
of the Conquest of Peru, first published in 1847, is one of
historian William Prescott's landmark works. A masterly study of
Spanish conquistador Francisco Pizarro's overthrow of the Inca
Empire, this astonishing chronicle is considered a classic of Latin
American history. Noted for its striking portrayal of the Spanish
character, the book rings with a "fusion of courage, cruelty,
pride, and gallows humor," says Darnell. "We seem to be overhearing
dialogue and observing firsthand the interaction between the
Spaniards as they struggle for control of an empire." He hails this
as "an immensely readable history." Also available from Cosimo
Classics: History of the Conquest of Mexico, Prescott's companion
volume about Corts's subjugation of the Aztecs. Historian, writer,
and scholar WILLIAM HICKLING PRESCOTT (1796-1859) was born in
Salem, Massachusetts. A regular contributor to the prestigious
Boston literary journal North American Review, he also authored
numerous books of history, including 1837's The History of the
Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella the Catholic, a critical and
popular success in both America and Europe.
