vcmwI succumbed to the lure of "Empires of the Atlantic World: Britain and Spain in America 1492-1830".
I tried to resist it twice, but it kept calling out my name. Your choice of Deity only knows when I'll ever find time to read it. I used to read books like this on long Greyhound trips by the simple expedient of not bringing any other books along. I don't take many long Greyhound trips anymore. I haven't come up with a new method yet. But as soon as I do, I have the 411 pages of tiny-printed history reading to take with me all set up. It has a colored plate of Tenochtitlan in the middle. And chapters about labor and the development of slavery as law, related to each other and across two cultures. It makes me drool.
I may have an issue here.
