Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Jackson, Everett Gee (illustrator). 1st Edition. Fine unread condition boards decorated in full color with a gray cloth spine and red stamped spine lettering contained in a very good condition red slipcase.

All other pages are in fine unmarked condition and the spine/binding is in exceedingly tight and square unread condition (see photographs). Also includes a fine condition four page Sandglass pamphlet by The Heritage Club (Number XII: 21) regarding the author and the History of the Conquest of Peru. First Edition thus. "In a series of episodes as fantastic as any fiction, a powerful civilization crumbled at the hands of a small band of warriors. Written by one of America's great historians, this gripping chronicle draws upon the firsthand accounts of eminent sixteenth-century captains and statesmen to relate the overthrow of the Inca empire by the Spanish adventurers under Pizarro's command. Author William H. Prescott's immensely readable narrative crackles with drama as he characterizes both conqueror and conquered. Rich in vivid anecdotes, it recaptures the glories of Inca society before European contact, and it paints fascinating portraits of the conquistadors and their courage, cruelty, and pride. Prescott's reconstructions of the attitudes and motivations behind the tumultuous events of the Spanish conquest offer memorable, insightful views of New World history that have made this book a popular classic." - from Amazon review.
