Publisher's Synopsis
The Horses of the Conquest is a historical book written by Graham R. B. Cunninghame that explores the role of horses in the Spanish Conquest of the Americas. The book begins by examining the importance of horses in pre-Columbian America and the impact of their introduction by the Spanish. It then delves into the breeding, training, and care of the horses used by the conquistadors, as well as their use in battle and exploration. The book also discusses the cultural significance of horses in both Spanish and Native American societies, and the lasting impact of their interaction.
