I remember that, I bought a Book for my Grand daughter by a Conquistidor, I can’t remember the name. I was in a pissing match with her historically illiterate Teacher.

That's the one. I get confused over titles I have read so much over the years that Titles are mean nothing.

I generally have to read the first chapter of a book to see if I haven't read it before. I have 500 books in my library despite giving them to anyone who has an interest.

Great book! Read it in High School, then Prescott’s book, then reread it again a few years ago!
