Description: Pictured here is the complete two-volume, seven-title set of Francis Parkman's monumental account of France and England’s imperial struggle for dominance on the North American continent. This is riveting stuff, written in a magesterial prose style seldom found in today's nonfiction. If you're one of those readers (like us) who dislikes the dry, workmanlike style of so much history, Parkman's work will be a revelation. Included in the set are: FRANCE & ENGLAND IN NORTH AMERICA VOLUME 1: Pioneers of France in the New World, The Jesuits in North America, LaSalle and the Discovery of the Great West, and The Old Regime in Canada. and FRANCE & ENGLAND IN NORTH AMERICA VOLUME 2: Count Frontenac and New France Under Louis XIV, A Half-Century of Conflict, and Monthcalm and Wolfe A set of two (2) Library of America classics in very good to near-fine condition, with straight boards, sharp corners, square spines, and tight bindings. Only minor edge wear to cloth and faint toning to edges of inner flaps of dust jackets, else fine. Pristine interiors with clean, bright pages. NO previous owner names. NO writing. NOT ex-library. Both volumes come in near-fine dust jackets, now protected in Mylar. Historical writing at its finest.
