Spain in America

Gibson, Charles 1920-1985 (Author).

Summary: "This book is designed as an over-all summary of colonial Spanish-American history. It deals with a longer chronological period than do most other volumes of the North American Nation series, and its treatment is more comprehensive and general. With respect to emphasis and point of view, I have sought to keep in mind both the requirements of a historical survey and the particular interests of readers in the United States." [Preface].
