Parkman: France and England in North America Vol 1(ISBN=9780940450103) azw3 极速 lit 地址 下载 rb pdf mobi

　　This is the first of two volumes presenting all seven parts of

Francis Parkman's monumental narrative history of the struggle for

control of the American continent. Thirty years in the writing,

Parkman's "history of the American forest" is an accomplishment

hardly less awesome than the adventures he describes. This volume

begins with the tragic settlement of French Huguenots in Florida,

then shifts north as explorers like Samuel de Champlain map the

wilderness and wage savage forest warfare against the Iroquois;

resolute Jesuits attempt to convert the Indians and suffer

captivity, torture, and martyrdom in the wilderness; conflict rages

in French Canada between religious extremists and fur traders.

Dominating all is the fiercely indomitable La Salle, whose

obsession with colonizing the Mississippi Valley leads to vast

treks across the western prairie and assassination in a lonely

Texas swamp.
