""By Right of Conquest"" is a historical novel written by Arthur Hornblow. The story is set in the 16th century and follows the journey of a young Spanish nobleman named Don Pedro de Valdez. Don Pedro is sent to the New World to claim land for Spain and to convert the indigenous people to Christianity. However, he soon realizes that the conquest is not as simple as he thought it would be. Don Pedro faces many challenges, including battles with the native tribes, conflicts with other Spanish conquistadors, and struggles with his own conscience as he witnesses the brutal treatment of the native population. Along the way, he falls in love with a beautiful native woman named Anacaona, who becomes a symbol of the clash between the Spanish and the indigenous cultures. ""By Right of Conquest"" is a gripping tale of adventure, romance, and the clash of civilizations, told with vivid detail and historical accuracy. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the New World and the complex legacy of colonialism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.

A History of the Theatre in America from its Beginnings to the Present Time By Arthur Hornblow Volume II Contents I--The First American TheatreII--The First Play Acted in New YorkIII--The Coming of the HallamsIV--Lewis Hallam in New York and PhiladelphiaV--David Douglass, Theatre BuilderVI--Opening of the Famous John Street TheatreVII--The Theatre During the RevolutionVIII--First Successful American PlayIX--The Chestnut Street Theatre, PhiladelphiaX--Boston's First TheatreXI--The First Park TheatreXII--Cooke and the Elder WallackXIII--The Golden Era of the American StageXIV--The Drama in the West Preface For nearly two hundred years the theatre in America has been without a historian. Of books on plays and playacting there has been no end. We have also several histories of the stage, but practically all of them are limited to the chronicling of theatrical happenings in certain localities, such as Blake's "History of the Providence Stage," Clapp's "Record of the Boston Stage," Ireland's "Records of the New York Stage," etc. Until now no attempt has been made to produce a work embracing the entire field of American theatrical activity, from the earliest beginnings in Colonial days down to the present time. Thirty years ago George O. Seilhamer began the publication of his "History of the American Theatre," perhaps the best, because the most complete, chronicle of the American stage up to the time of the Revolution that we have. Unfortunately, Mr. Seilhamer died when his history reached the year 1797, so that his splendidly conceived work remained unfinished. The three large volumes that did appear constitute, however, a monument of patient research, and I wish to acknowledge indebtedness to their interesting pages for much valuable information and data regarding the earlier period of our stage. Of William Dunlap's better-known work "A History of the American Theatre"--now a classic of our literature--almost everything can be said in praise except that it is not history. The book, which might properly be classed as an autobiography, seeing that the author writes mostly of his own experiences in theatrical authorship and management, is a series of charming pen pictures of old-time players and theatres by one who was contemporaneous with them. The work has little value as history. It goes back only a few years earlier than Dunlap's own life, it completely ignores important events that had already made theatrical history before he was born, and the book ends with his own retirement from management. Wholly delightful as a piece of literature, full of piquant observation and amusing anecdote, Dunlap's book, bristling as it is with... ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Windham Press is committed to bringing the lost cultural heritage of ages past into the 21st century through high-quality reproductions of original, classic printed works at affordable prices. This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making.
