Greater America; Essays in Honor of Herbert Eugene Bolton
Reviewed in Revista de Historia de América © 1946.
Herbert Eugene Bolton (July 20, 1870 – January 30, 1953) was an American historian who pioneered the study of the Spanish-American borderlands and was a prominent authority on Spanish American history. He originated what became known as the Bolton Theory of the history of the Americas which holds that it is impossible to study the history of the United States in isolation from the histories of other American nations,[1] and wrote or co-authored 94 works.

Los Conquistadores Españoles
Disponible en línea en inglés.
De la portada:
Frederick Alexander Kirkpatrick nació en Donacourper el 10 de junio de 1861 y es actualmente lector de español en la Universidad de Cambridge. Sus obras de historia hispanoamericana son fruto de una larga vida dedicada al estudio en archivos y bibliotecas, y a recorrer y vivir en los países que sirvieron de escenario a sus relatos. Esas obras le han dado justa celebridad por la objetividad, amenidad y método con que describe la vida de los hombres y de los países en las horas culminantes y en sus aspectos más esenciales. La inexistencia de un tomo que abarcase la historia del descubrimiento y conquista de América le animó a escribir la interesantísima obra titulada “Los conquistadores Españoles”, cuya tercera edición publica hoy la Colección Austral..
España Pintoresca; The Life and Customs of Spain in Story and Legend
Available on-line.
Reviewed in The Modern Language Journal.
From the author’s Preface:
This book is for the use of students who have taken the first steps in the study of Spanish. It is meant to supply a need which the author has felt in teaching the language. Familiarity with a language and its literature is difficult to attain without the sympathy lent by an intimate understanding of the manners and customs of the people, and never were language and life more closely intertwined than in the vibrant heart of old Spain, where the passion and poetry of the race find expression in its ardent and melodious speech.
