Sword of Empire: The Spanish Conquest of the Americas from Columbus to Cortés, 1492-1529

By Donald E. Chipman

State House Press is the imprint of the McWhiney History Education Group whose mission is to make history accessible through publishing, education, and tourism and is a proud partner with The Texas Center at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas. The Texas Center is an educational ecosystem that offers opportunities for students and the general population to learn and appreciate the uniqueness of Texan history, civilization, and society. The Lone Star State has always been at the intersection of people, cultures, and ideas, and populated by immigrants. As a result, it has become an exceptionally diverse state with a history of redeeming, restoring, and transforming ordinary individuals into citizens who achieve the extraordinary. Texas, too, has always been a borderland, inhabited by those who resist the urge to be homogenized and contained, while appreciating and promoting the ways in which our neighbors are different and unique-but also pulling in the same direction. The Texas Center at Schreiner University will continue the university's tradition of being the small college in Texas that believes in the classic Texan virtues of spirit, fortitude, hope, and achievement.
