Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Imperative Needs for the Study of Hispanic, American History in Our Schools and Colleges
The history of Spain in America, then, from 1492 until 1609 is that of the expansion of certain European peoples (spaniards to be sure but Europeans just the same) in the region extending from Buenos Aires and Santiago de Chile on the south to Santa Fé and St. Augustine on the north a record for the establishment of empire and dominion that has not an equal in the history of the world and therefore deserving of full treatment in the narrative of the develop ment and spread of western civilization in general.
