Hardcover. Condición: New. Estado de la sobrecubierta: New. 1st Edition. MONUMENTAL: A TREASURE: NEW LOA First Edition hardcover (Orig. 1983) 7th Printing (c. 2010): NEW LOA jacket, NEW sand-tan silk-finish rayon-weave Brillianta fabric-over boards cover w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, IMMACULATE smooth-cut text-block exterior, NEW sewn binding w/ tight signatures & tan-white-checked cloth bands at spine-caps w/ tan silk page-marker ribbon, NEW white-on-brown LOA-patterned card-stock end-papers, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed in Linotron Galliard on SUPERB Olin Nyalite paper * 5.0" x 8.12" x 2.06", 1.02 kg, x+1620 (1630) pp * CONTENTS: Count Frontenac & New France under Louis XIV (1), A Half-Century of Conflict (329), Montcalm & Wolfe (829); Chronology (1505), Note on the Texts (1511), Notes (1514), Index (1517) * This is the 2nd of 2 vols. which together incorporate all 7 titles of Francis Parkman's monumental account of France & England's imperial struggle for dominance on the North American continent. Parkman conceived the project in 1841, when he was a Harvard sophomore, & persisted in it despite chronic nervous disorders that affected his eyes. The last volume of what he called his "history of the American forest" appeared almost 30 years after the 1st. Deservedly compared as a literary achievement to Gibbon's "The Decline & Fall of the Roman Empire", Parkman's accomplishment is hardly less awesome than the explorations & adventures he so vividly describes. His own indomitable spirit is reflected in 2 of the history's most fiercely resolute figures: La Salle, obsessed with colonizing the Mississippi Valley, & Frontenac, determined to bolster France's tottering position in the New World. Here for the 1st time Parkman's massive complete epic appears in a compact form. It tells a story of great empires maneuvering in an unfamiliar & hostile terrain w/ all the guile, sophistication & ingenuity learned from centuries of European rivalry. "Count Frontenac and New France Under Louis XIV" tells how France might have won her imperial struggle w/ England. Frontenac, a courtier made governor of New France by that most sagacious of monarchs, oversaw the colony's brightest era of growth & influence. Had Canada's later governors possessed his administrative skill & personal force, his sense of diplomacy & political talent, or his grasp of the uses of power in a modern world, the English colonies to the south might have become part of what Frontenac saw as a continental scheme of French dominion. England's American colonies flourished, while France, in both the Old World & the New, declined from its late 17th century greatness. Conflict over the developing western regions of North America erupted in a series of colonial wars. As narrated by Parkman in "A Half-Century of Conflict", these American campaigns, while only part of a larger, global struggle, prepared the Colonies for the American Revolution. In "Montcalm & Wolfe" Parkman describes the fatal confrontation of the 2 great French & English commanders whose climactic battle marked the end of French power in America. As the English Colonies cooperated for their own defense, they began to realize their common interests, their relative strength, & their unique position; & in this imperial war of European powers we begin to see American figures (Benjamin Franklin, George Washington) soon to occupy a historical stage of their own. Parkman's chronicle, concluding on the Plains of Abraham after nearly 250 years of conflict, will permanently transform our image of the American landscape. Written w/ verve, suppleness & wit, this grand narrative history of political & theological conflict, of feats of physical endurance, of courtly manners practiced w/ comic disproportion against the backdrop of a looming wilderness, is a treasure of our national & of world literature. * THE LIBRARY OF AMERICA is an award-winning, nonprofit program dedicated to publishing America's best & most significant writing in handsome, enduring volumes, featuring authoritative texts.

The remainder of the book is brand new condition with interior text pages near flawless. "There is no precise way to explain the energetic life of New Mexico Governor David Cargo--attorney to the downtrodden, as well as the rich and famous; a changer of legislative reapportionment, and at the same time inventing the first Governor's State Film Commission in the United States. He was a dedicated promoter of many films shooting and spending fortunes in our state. Then the true miracle happened: a Republican became beloved by the liberal Democrats of Hollywood. It had never happened before and mostly likely never will again. He became personal friends with those behind the camera as well as the stars facing it, and consequently had acting parts in twelve of those films. And now, while writing his priceless historical memoir, he has raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to build, and/or maintain twelve libraries in such isolated New Mexico villages and towns as Mora, Anton Chico, Villanueva and Corona. This is an unsurpassed heritage to leave for the mental and spiritual growth of the youth of New Mexico. Viva, Lonesome Dave." -- Max Evans, author of The Rounder, Hi-Lo Country, Madam Millie, Bluefeather Fellini, and other novels.
