William Hickling Prescott
Author: Peter O. Koch
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476665338
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 251
Book Description
William Hickling Prescott (1796-1859) was one of those rare historians who effectively melded history and literature in an elegant, compelling writing style that appealed to the casual reader, while still meeting the strict criteria of the scholar. Prescott was the first American historian to achieve international recognition with his critically acclaimed History of the Reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. Plagued by poor vision and chronic health issues, he was determined to make his mark as a historian. His follow-up work, The History of the Conquest of Mexico, is considered his masterpiece. Prescott went on to write A History of the Conquest of Peru, History of the Reign of Philip II and a 200-page addendum to William Robertson's History of the Reign of the Emperor Charles V. Drawing on correspondence and journal entries, this book traces the life of one of America's most celebrated historians.

Houses and House-Life of the American Aborigines
Author: Lewis Henry Morgan
Publisher: Good Press
ISBN:
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Lewis Henry Morgan's 'Houses and House-Life of the American Aborigines' is an exploration of the design of the dwellings and buildings used by Native Americans and what they tell us about their way of life. The author reveals that Native Americans tended towards equalization of subsistence with a law of hospitality that ensured hunger and destitution could not exist in one part of a village while plenty prevailed elsewhere. Morgan argues that the family was too weak an organization to face alone the struggle of life and thus formed large households composed of several families. The book explains how the communal house forms one system of works and represents these several conditions of Native American life with reasonable completeness.
