Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Hubert Howe Bancroft, Vol. 15: History of the North Mexican States and Texas The territorial basis of the present work, fourth in the completed series, and entitled History of the North Mexican States, corresponds to the modern Texas, Coahuila, Durango, Chihuahua, New Mexico, Sinaloa, Sonora, Arizona, and the two Californias; but the history of New Mexico, Arizona, and Upper California is here given only in the briefest outline, because fully treated in separate works. To the eastern provinces of Texas and Coahuila much less space proportionately is devoted than to regions further wTest; somewhat more to Chihuahua and Sonora than to Durango and Sinaloa in the south; and Baja California, by reason not only of its geographic position but of its historic importance, receives more attention than its rank in modern times alone would justify. These provinces are variously grouped at successive epochs as is required for clearness and convenience of presentment; but of each it is the authors aim to portray in all desirable detail the earliest annals of discovery, exploration, conquest, and conversion; while later periods of routine development are not neglected, though treated on a different scale.
