Cortes: Or The Discovery And Conquest Of Mexico is a historical book written by George Cubitt and published in 1848. The book chronicles the story of the Spanish conquistador Hernan Cortes and his conquest of the Aztec Empire in Mexico in the early 16th century. The book provides a detailed account of Cortes' journey to Mexico, his interactions with the Aztecs, and the battles that ultimately led to the downfall of their empire. It also explores the political and social conditions of the Aztec society at the time of the conquest, as well as the impact of European colonization on the indigenous populations.Cubitt's book draws on primary sources such as letters and journals written by Cortes and his contemporaries, as well as later historical accounts. The author presents a balanced portrayal of Cortes, highlighting both his bravery and cunning as a military leader, as well as his often ruthless tactics and disregard for human life.Overall, Cortes: Or The Discovery And Conquest Of Mexico is a comprehensive and engaging account of one of the most significant events in the history of the Americas, and a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of European colonization and indigenous resistance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
