Publisher's Synopsis
The Horses of the Conquest is a historical book written by Graham R. B. Cunninghame. The book explores the role of horses in the Spanish conquest of the Americas in the 16th century. The author examines the various breeds of horses that were brought over by the Spanish conquistadors and how they were used in battle, transportation, and as a symbol of power and status. Cunninghame also delves into the impact of these horses on the indigenous people of the Americas, who had never seen such large and powerful animals before. The book provides a fascinating insight into the cultural and historical significance of horses in the conquest of the Americas and sheds light on the often-overlooked role that animals played in this pivotal moment in history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
