By Right of Conquest:
With Cortez in Mexico
Total Time: 13 Hours, 15 Minutes
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.

"Thank you so much for producing Henty on audio! This is wonderful. We currently own ALL your audio tapes! We highly value unabridged audios. I use audio as a means to teach my children inflection, changes in character voice, reading at a higher level, etc. We not only listen to the tapes, we follow along in the book; I have them read as they listen. This greatly enhances their pronunciation of words while building their vocabulary."
