| Publisher Description: A compact synthesis of David J. Weber's prize-winning history of colonial Spanish North America, from the first Spanish-Indian contact through Spain's gradual retreat Praise for the previous edition: "I cannot imagine a single book giving a more comprehensive and balanced study of Spain's presence in North America."--Louis Kleber, History Today "For readers seeking to understand the larger meaning of the Spanish heritage in North America, Weber's vivid narrative is a must. This is social and cultural history at its best."--Howard R. Lamar, Yale University "A superb study."--Choice "[A] deeply researched and splendidly conceived and written survey."--Alvin M.
