William Hickling Prescott was an American historian known for his 19th-century works on the histories of Spain and South America. He studied extensively on the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella, Philip II, and the crucial conquests of Mexico and Peru. These works have become some of the most influential works on the study of Spain and Central America and, according to many historians, Prescott was careful, accurate, and exhaustive in his writings.



The ‘History of the Conquest of Peru’ is unquestionably one of the best accounts of Francisco Pizarro and the Spanish conquest of the Incan Empire. Includes the map of Peru!
