The Coming Of The White Man - 1492-1848 - Vol. 1 by Herbert Ingram Priestley Macmillan Publishing 1929
Title: The Coming Of The White Man - 1492-1848 - Vol. 1
Author: Herbert Ingram Priestley
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Macmillan Publishing 1929
Size: 5.5 X 8.25 X 1.25 * 411 pages
Synopsis: From the Jacket: This volume, which opens the series, traces Spanish, French, and Dutch beginnings in North America. The author, however, does not tell the usual political story of these different ventures; he is concerned rather with the unfolding of social and institutional life under wilderness conditions. With bold strokes he pictures the types of civilization that grew up in the busy ports, mining regions, and haciendas of New Spain, the seigniories and fur posts of old Canada, and the Dutch settlements along the Hudson. He shows how the religion, architecture, law, and social customs of these half-forgotten colonies contributed to our later American life as they became a part of the United States. The reader will find an enlightening treatment of the role played by the Roman Catholic Church in the Spanish and French domains, of the relations between the conquering and the conquered peoples, and of the elaborate edifice of social caste which characterized New Spain, as well as of the nature of America's English roots.
