Project Gutenberg 2006-09-28 Public domain in the USA. 239 Henty, G. A. (George Alfred) 1832 1902 Henty, George Alfred Henty, G.A. By Right of Conquest; Or, With Cortez in Mexico Produced by Martin Robb "By Right of Conquest; Or, With Cortez in Mexico" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the adventures of Reuben Hawkshaw and his son Roger as they embark on a perilous journey to the New World during the early 16th century, aiming to trade with the natives and potentially uncover treasures of gold. The book blends elements of exploration, trade, and conflict, particularly with the backdrop of the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire. At the start of the novel, readers are introduced to the setting of Plymouth and the preparations for a significant voyage undertaken by Reuben Hawkshaw. The narrative captures the excitement of a ship, the Swan, setting sail with a larger-than-usual crew, filled with hopes of discovering new lands and riches. Key characters such as Roger, who is eager for adventure, and Master Beggs, the ship's merchant owner, highlight the dynamics of trade and exploration of that era. As the preparations conclude, there’s an air of intrigue about the voyage's true intentions, suggesting that it will not be just a routine trading expedition but perhaps a venture into uncharted territories and potentially dangerous encounters.
