A classic work of history by the American historian William Hickling Prescott (1796-1859), first published in 1847. The book chronicles the epic story of the Spanish conquest of the Inca empire in the early 16th century, and the dramatic clash of civilizations that ensued. Prescott relied on an extensive array of primary sources, including contemporary accounts by Spanish and indigenous writers, to create a vivid and nuanced portrait of the people, places, and events of this pivotal chapter in world history. A masterpiece of literary and historical scholarship, and a must-read for anyone interested in the conquest of the Americas. This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it. This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Prescott's classic history of the Andes empire, its culture, and its demise. This absorbingly readable narrative begins with a broad overview of the country and its people. The author, without the benefit of generations of archaeological and historical research, paints an extraordinarily accurate picture of the Empire of the Incas and the daily lives and customs of its people. The author concentrates on the exploits of Fernando Pizarro and his successors as they loot, pillage and dismantle one of the world's great civilizations.Originally published in 1847, Prescott's "Conquest of Peru" is considered one of the great classics of historical writing. It was the first work in the English language on the subject, and achieved wide circulation - both as a historical treatise and as novel entertainment. Although much has been written on the subject since then, this work is still the starting point for all cultural and historical discussion of the Incan world.This masterfully crafted eBook is a faithful presentation of the first edition, and includes the hundreds of footnotes which the author felt were necessary to substantiate his facts and opinions (each is placed on the page on which it is referenced). Revisions from later editions are also included. The eBook is fully-searchable and fully printable. (597pp, 4.86 Mb)

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

The History of the Conquest of Peru Volume 2By William Hickling PrescottFrom these different sources I have accumulated a large amount of manuscripts, of the most various character, and from the most authentic sources; royal grants and ordinances, instructions of the Court, letters of the Emperor to the great colonial officers, municipal records, personal diaries and memoranda, and a mass of private correspondence of the principal actors in this turbulent drama. Perhaps it was the turbulent state of the country which led to a more frequent correspondence between the government at home and the colonial officers.
