Rivals For America is a historical book written by Francis Parkman and published in 1916. The book is an account of the rivalry between France and England for control over North America during the 17th and 18th centuries. It provides a detailed and comprehensive overview of the struggles, conflicts, and alliances between the two European powers and the Native American tribes they encountered. Parkman's narrative is based on extensive research and includes a wealth of primary source material, including letters, diaries, and official documents. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the founding of Quebec and Montreal, the exploration of the Great Lakes and Mississippi River, the French and Indian War, and the final defeat of France in North America. Parkman's writing is engaging and vivid, bringing to life the characters and events of this tumultuous period. He provides a nuanced and balanced view of the conflict, acknowledging the strengths and weaknesses of both sides. The book is an important contribution to the study of North American history and remains a classic of the genre.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
