By Right of Conquest; Or, With Cortez in Mexico
G. A. Henty
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
In perhaps the most audacious military enterprise in the history of human conquest, Cortez, with only a few hundred men, conquered a civilization of tens of thousands. This is the story of an Englishman who boards a merchant ship destined for the New World, but a shipwreck strands him in Pre-Columbian Mexico, and Roger must find a way to avoid becoming one of the many human sacrifices offered to the Aztec gods. (15 hr 22 min)

Reviews
The Conquest of Mexico
mark
It was a very thrilling story. I think I will listen to it one more time.
classic GA Henty. Unique in that it describes the Aztec culture
M Hall
seg
interesting story with very much historical references.. Typical G.H.
Unforgivable Pronunciation
Daniel Gibson
I'm sorry but how can you read the ridiculously common name "Roger" and pronounce it "Roe-Gur"????
poggiali54
there's a good story in there but at times it is very much swamped by historical facts
Awful narrator
Great book, great narrator. Loved every page.
Hate to be unkind, but the SLC lady should find a new hobby.
Excellent story
