Helen Lobdell

4.9/5 (26533 ratings)

Description:(from inside cover): "GOLDEN CONQUEST is a fabulous story based on the adventures and romance of a Castilian boy and an Indian girl during the time of the Spanish Conquest of Mexico. An unusual set of circumstances brought Juan and Catalina together under the banner of Don Hernando Cortez - a prince whose character was matched by his courage. Catalina's place was with the serving women but Juan witnessed time and again Cortez' great power as he recruited followers with promises of gold and silver and subdued Indian villages in the name of God. Juan's admiration for his leader was boundless but he was puzzled when he heard that Cortez had taken Montezuma prisoner. The great Montezuma had been a gracious, even though unwilling, host to the Spaniards. And when Cortez asked Juan to spy on the noble Prince Cacama, Juan refused and was himself imprisoned. There followed days of privations and horrors, the death of Montezuma, war with the Aztecs and Juan's capture as he tried to lead Catalina to safety. Prince Cacama's tragic sacrifice for Juan and Catalina and Cortez's sweeping victory bring this tense and absorbing story to a highly dramatic conclusion. Seymour Fleishman's black and white drawings are rich and powerful in their interpretation of GOLDEN CONQUEST."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
