商品簡介
Deadly Baggage is a book about the conquest of Mexico by an expedition led by the infamous Cortes in the sixteenth century. Rather than telling the Eurocentric version of the story, which focuses descriptions of the expedition's (and sometimes indigenous) leaders and famous battles, Deadly Baggage focuses on the aspects of biology, history, geology, technology, geography, and culture that contributed to the success of the expedition and the destruction of the Aztec civilization. The book draws upon exhaustive research from a multitude of primary sources, historians, archeologists, and mapmakers. Annotation c2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
