Download or read book The Conquest of New France written by George McKinnon Wrong and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-10 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of New France: A Chronicle of the Colonial Wars The career of Louis de Buade, Comte de Fron tenac, who was Governor of Canada from 1672 to 1682 and again from 1689 to his death in 1698, reveals both the merits and the defects of the colonizing genius of France. Frontenac was a man of noble birth whose life had been spent in court and camp. The story of his family, so far as it is known, is a story of attendance upon the royal house of France. His father and uncles had been playmates of the young Dauphin, after wards Louis XIII. The thoughts familiar to Frontenac in his youth remained with him through life; and, when he went to rule at Quebec, the very spirit that dominated the court at Versailles crossed the sea with him. A man is known by the things he loves. The things which Frontenac most highly cherished were marks of royal favor, the ceremony due to his own rank, the right to command. He was an egoist, supremely interested in himself. He was poor, but at his country seat in France, near Blois, he kept open house in the style of a great noble. Always he bore himself as one to whom much was due. His guests were expected to admire his indifferent horses as the finest to be seen, his gardens as the most beautiful, his clothes as of the most effective cut and finish, the plate on his table as of the best workmanship, and the food as having superior flavor. He scolded his equals as if they were naughty children. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

At that very time I was consulting the most important of the New Granada chronicles, by Fray Pedro Simon, for another purpose.1 I was then led to read Piedrahita, ' a later chronicle, and to translate Cieza de Leon and I received encouragement to write on the subject from Sir Woodbine Parish. But I waited for some more competent person with greater local knowledge to undertake the task of presenting to English readers the story of Chibcha civilisation and of the conquest of New Granada.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Great Fortress: A Chronicle of Louisbourg, 1720-1760 Louisbourg was no mere isolated strong hold which could be lost or won without affecting the wider issues of oversea dominion. On the contrary, it was a necessary link in the chain of waterside posts which connected France with America by way of the Atlantic, the St Lawrence, the Great Lakes, and the Mississippi. But since the chain itself and all its other links, and even the peculiar relation of Louisbourg to the Acadians and the Conquest, have been fully described else where in the Chronicles of Canada, the present volume only tries to tell the purely individual tale. Strange to say, this tale seems never to have been told before; at least, not as one continuous whole. Of course, each siege has been described, over and over again, in many Special monographs as well as in countless books about Canadian history. But nobody.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives of the Queens of England Before the Norman Conquest Such are a few of the leading features of a period comparatively unknown, and which cannot fail, it is hoped, to prove a useful study to those who desire an introduction to the History of Eng land; for these personal records of the wives and daughters of our early monarchs, form naturally the connecting links between many public events which would otherwise remain detached and unintelligible. The history of British female Sovereigns before the period of the Conquest had necessarily to be drawn from chronicles which present many legendary records, and which grave writers have sometimes rejected, perhaps too unsparingly; for, as a learned translatorAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Conquest of Florida: Under Hernando De Soto While studying the Spanish language, some few years since, at Madrid, an old chronicle was placed in my hands, relating to the early discoveries and achievements of the Spaniards in America. It was denominated The Florida of the Inca, or the History of the Adelantado, Hernando de Soto, Governor and captain-gene ral of the Kingdom of Florida, and of other heroic cavaliers, Spaniards and Indians written by the Inca Garcilaso de la Vega. As I read, I became insensibly engrossed by the extra ordinary enterprise therein narrated: I dwelt with intense interest upon the harebrained adventures and daring exploits of steel-clad warriors, and the no less valiant and chivalrous deeds of savage chieftains, which entitle this narrative to the high praise bestowed upon it by Mr. Southey, of being one of the most delightful works in the Spanish language.

Book Synopsis Fernando Cortes by : Francis Augustus Macnutt
Download or read book Fernando Cortes written by Francis Augustus Macnutt and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 550 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fernando Cortes: And the Conquest of Mexico, 1485-1547 Spain held the dominant place amongst European states in the first half of the sixteenth century, and she was prolific in great men, who governed at home or extended her power abroad. Among the latter, Fernando Cortes was easily the greatest, and the story of his life is a chronicle of deeds of heroism and sheep daring, to which history offers few parallels. In the work of overturning the military and religious despotism of Montezuma, some terrible deeds were done. Similar acts of severity and cruelty, however, blot the fame of great leaders in most wars, ancient and modern. Some of the material used in the following brief story of the conqueror's life has already appeared in the biographical note to the Letters of Cortes, the favourable reception of which by students of American history, has encouraged me to prepare the present work in a more popular form.
