About this book

A Short History of Spain is one of the compact national histories by Mary Platt Parmele (1843-1911), the American writer who built a popular series of brief, readable histories of the nations for the general reader. She carries Spain from Rome and the Moors through the golden age and empire to the loss of the colonies in 1898, fitting centuries into a single evening's reading. Parmele's little histories sold steadily as painless introductions. Free PDF download available on BDeBooks.
