By Right of Conquest:
With Cortez in Mexico
by G.A. Henty
Audio Recording by Jim Hodges
Setting: AD 1518-1523 – Sailing ships, Conquest of Aztec Empire in Mexico, Central America.
Story: The conquest of the Aztec Empire by Hernando Cortez and a mere handful of Spaniards is one of the greatest romances of history. A writer of fiction would scarcely have dared to invent so improbable a story, but it is true. Fortunately, Cortez was able to ally himself with many peoples conquered by the Aztecs who were all too happy to assist in their downfall. Roger Hawkshaw, a shipwrecked Englishman, presenting himself as a long-lost Spaniard, assists Cortez in his many adventures.

About G.A. Henty
Henty, being a Victorian Englishman, wrote his historical fiction from that worldview. His stories are fiercely historically accurate and full of noble character – honesty, chivalry, integrity, courage, loyalty, diligence, charity and justice. After thoroughly studying the time period on which he wanted to write, he would quickly pace back and forth in his study dictating a story to one of his stenographers as fast as the man could take it down. In this manner he could easily fulfill his contract with his publisher for three books per year. Before he died in 1901, he had written 122 books, and had been dubbed “The Prince of Story-Tellers” by contemporary critics.
