Texas is one of the most recognizable states in the United States of America (it is the second-largest, behind Alaska), and it also has a reputation for being unlike any other. This reputation is well-deserved, in part because of the state's long and often contentious history.
That history has fascinated many people not only in this nation but around the world for centuries. From the heyday of the Wild West and the state's oil boom to the storied Texas Rangers and the construction of one of NASA's primary facilities, it seems nearly impossible to fully explore everything in the state's rich past.

This book argues that the striking resemblances in Spanish and Puritan discourses of colonization as "exorcism" and as spiritual gardening point to a common Atlantic history. These resemblances suggest that we are better off if we simply consider the Puritan colonization of New England as a continuation of Iberian models rather than a radically different colonizing experience. The book demonstrates that a wider Pan-American perspective can upset the most cherished national narratives of the United States, for it maintains that the Puritan colonization of New England was as much a chivalric, crusading act of Reconquista (against the Devil) as was the Spanish conquest.

Автор: Terence Wise Название: The Conquistadores ISBN: 0850453577 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780850453577 Издательство: Osprey Рейтинг: Цена: 12860.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: On 12 October 1492 Columbus discovered the New World. In the following decade a number of Spanish colonies were founded in the West Indies, many of the settlers being ex-soldiers. They were a hardy, adventurous and unruly crew, no longer able to find suitable employment in Europe.
They carved a foothold for Spain in the Indies, but quickly became restless in the role of settler. Anxious to avoid the dull work of the administrators and planters, these men began to seek new territories to exploit, once again turning their faces towards the unknown. This title documents both the Conquistadores themselves, and their formidable enemies in the New World - the Aztecs, Incas and Maya.

Blanton Название: Conquistador`s Wake: Tracking the Legacy of Hernando de Soto in the Indigenous Southeast ISBN: 0820356352 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780820356358 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 89630.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The focus of Conquistador`s Wake is a decade-long archaeological project undertaken at a place now known as the Glass Site, located in Telfair County, Georgia. This spot, near the town of McRae, offers clues that place Hernando de Soto in Georgia via a different route than previously thought by historians and archaeologists.
The gripping, shocking and almost unbelievable story of how a few hundred Spaniards subdued the millions of the Inca Empire.
Under the leadership of Francisco Pizarro, Spanish soldiers numbering between as few as 80 and never more than 500, overcame vast Inca armies numbering in the hundreds of thousands through a combination of superior technology, better tactics and the less appealing methods of murder and outright deceit.
This work details Pizarro's first two failed attempts to invade the Inca Empire; the daring capture of the Incan emperor Atahulpa at the Battle of Cajamarca; the "ransom of gold"; Atahualpa's brutal execution, and the seizure and subsequent dramatic battles around the of the Incan capital city of Cuzco.
Pizarro and his fellow conquistador Diego Almagro fell out with one another, sparking off a war between two Spanish factions which ended in the defeat and execution of Almagro in 1541.
The same year, Pizarro met his own violent end at the hands of Almargo's embittered son, and was laid to rest in the Cathedral of Lima, a city which Pizarro founded.
Included in this fast-paced and easy-to-read story is an insight into how quickly the leading Conquistadors miscegenated into the native Indian population.

Описание: Could European bodies thrive in the Indies? Would Indians turn into Spaniards if they ate Spanish food? This fascinating history of food, colonisation and race shows that attitudes about food were fundamental to European colonialism and understandings of physical difference in the Age of Discovery.
The Spanish Conquest: What Really Happened? Columbus discovered America, Cort s conquered the Aztecs, Pizarro the Incas. Soto had something to do with the Mississippi. And Cabeza de Vaca? Well, your teacher never mentioned him.
For most Americans, this is the extent of our knowledge about the invasion of the western hemisphere and subjection of its native peoples by a foreign power.
But now you can fill this gap in your knowledge by reading Conquistador Voices. You're likely to find the experience engaging because Conquistador Voices is built around first-person narratives.
You'll hear what happened from the lips of the foreign invaders themselves and, in some cases, from the people whose lands were invaded--the native Americans. Think of this book as a film documentary in written form, with 500-year-old "sound bites" blended into a smooth-flowing author narrative that refrains from telling you what to think, but rather leaves you to make your own moral judgments.
In these two volumes you'll find neither a defense of the conquistadors nor a politically correct polemic against them.
Volume I opens with the four voyages of Christopher Columbus, offering new insights into this man's complex character. It then explores in lavish detail the conquest of Mexico by Hern n Cort s. In Volume II you'll be taken into the high Andes with the brazen Pizarro brothers, into the wilds of Texas and Mexico with lvar Nu ez Cabeza de Vaca, and along a trail of successive misfortunes--through today's Florida, Georgia, the Carolinas, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, and Texas--with the expedition of Hernando de Soto.
Conquistador Voices is a one-stop layman's summary of this epic period, delving into persons and events we still talk about today.
