{"product_id":"frances-parkman-rdr-pb-9780306808234","title":"Frances Parkman Rdr PB","description":"Francis Parkman (1823-1893), struggling against painful chronic illnesses and very largely self-taught in his field, was not only a pioneering historian but an enduring one. His monumental seven-volume history of discovery, conquest, and empire-building in the New World, \u003ci\u003eFrance and England in North America\u003c\/i\u003e (the final volume, \u003ci\u003eMontcalm and Wolfe, \u003c\/i\u003e is available in its entirety from Da Capo Press\/ Perseus Books Group), remains unrivaled for its power, depth, scope, accuracy, and literary artistry. This reader, superbly edited by \u003cb\u003eSamuel Eliot Morison, \u003c\/b\u003e the Pulitzer Prize-winning historian in the Parkman tradition, comprises approximately one-seventh of the original. Rather than stitch together a patchwork of brief, disconnected extracts, Morison has chosen whole chapters or groups of chapters, thereby allowing the reader to follow a story from start to finish, and what stories they are: Champlain's efforts to establish a French empire in the vast forest wilderness; the torture and martyrdom of Father Jogues; La Salle's western expeditions and his murder by mutineers; the bloody Deerfield Massacre; the improbable, madcap, and successful siege of Louisbourg; the swift, dramatic battle on Quebec's Plains of Abraham, in which the fate of a continent was decided; and much more. The result is both an enthralling portrait of early North American colonial history and an unsurpassed introduction to the works of Francis Parkman.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Samuel Eliot Morison, Francis Parkman  Jr.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Da Capo Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/01\/1998\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 552\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.34h x 5.44w x 1.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780306808234\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/1998 pg. 143\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSamuel Eliot Morison, \u003c\/b\u003e editor for this edition, was a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian in the Parkman tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Da Capo Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40490351526003,"sku":"9.78031E+12","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_12be7ad8-ccbf-490c-8c95-ac9e9667e363.jpg?v=1664889218","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/frances-parkman-rdr-pb-9780306808234","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
