Publisher's Synopsis
The Conquest of the Continent is a historical book written by Hugh Latimer Burleson. The book explores the conquest of North America by European powers, from the early explorations to the establishment of colonies and the eventual formation of the United States of America. Burleson examines the various factors that contributed to the conquest, including the economic, political, and social motivations of the European powers, as well as the impact of disease, war, and cultural clashes on the indigenous populations. The book also delves into the key figures and events that shaped the course of the conquest, such as Christopher Columbus, Hern�����n Cort�����s, the French and Indian War, and the American Revolution. With a comprehensive and engaging writing style, The Conquest of the Continent provides a detailed account of one of the most significant periods in North American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
