I have read them with the greatest interest. To them I am indebted for about all the historical knowledge I have.\"\u003cp\u003eConsidered what we would now call \"young adult\" literature, this collection, first published between 1848 and 1871, was designed to present a clear, distinct, connected narrative of the lives of the great figures of world history, those people who have been most influential, at least as American pastor and historian JOHN STEVENS CABOT ABBOTT (1805-1877) saw it from his 19th-century perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWildly popular and republished many times under different collected names, this replica set mimics the 1904 reprint known as the \"Makers of History\" series. It will delight students of history as well as show the scholar how history telling has changed over the last few centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMore than 30 other volumes in the series are also available from Cosimo Classics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume, dating from 1856, covers Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez (1485-1547), from his early life and his first journeys to Mexico to his invasions and sieges that led to the downfall of the Aztec Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cosimo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50079283773680,"sku":"9781605208329","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781605208329","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
