Elliott -- Extracts from The History of the Conquest of Mexico 330 8 $aThis book contains a substantial extract from William H. Prescott's major work A History of the Conquest of Mexico. Prescott lived from 1796-1859 and his book was a pioneering view of the Aztec civilization. The country of the ancient Mexicans or Aztecs, as they were known, formed but a very small part of the extensive territories, which make up modern Mexico. The story of the life of Hernando Cortes, the Conqueror and the tragic story of Moctezuma the Aztec king are essential to this history. In his fascinating introduction J.H. Elliott sets Prescott's work against the background of the growth of historical research. 410 0$aContinuum histories. 606 $aAztecs$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aIndians of Mexico$xHistory$y16th century 606 $2Early modern history: c 1450/1500 to c 1700 607 $aMexico$xHistory$yConquest, 1519-1540 615 0$aAztecs$xHistory 615 0$aIndians of Mexico$xHistory 676 $a972.02 700 $aPrescott$b William Hickling$f1796-1859,$0324189 702 $aElliott$b John Huxtable 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910829083903321 996 $aWilliam H.
