Praise

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. Josephy, Jr., New York Times Book Review

David J. Weber is Robert and Nancy Dedman Professor of History and director, Clements Center for Southwest Studies, Southern Methodist University. Spain and Mexico have given him the highest awards they bestow on foreigners and the American Academy of Arts has elected him to membership. His previous books include the award-winning The Mexican Frontier, 1821–1846 and Bárbaros: Spaniards and Their Savages in the Age of Enlightenment. He lives in Dallas and in Ramah, NM.

"The Brief Edition is sure to be a successful successor to the original. General readers should find this to be an unintimidating work that is eloquently written. Teachers who assign this book for their class will be pleased."—F. Evan Nooe, H-Net Florida
