Springfield Township, Montgomery County

Resumen del Libro

Libro Springfield Township, Montgomery County

Springfield Township, Montgomery County, adjoins the city of Philadelphia on its northern border. The township's six-plus square miles, originally established as "Penn's Manor of Springfield," was a gift from William Penn to his wife, Gulielma Maria Springett, c. 1681. This historic township was home to a major stagecoach line and its associated taverns and inns, considerable activity during the Revolutionary War, summertime residences of Philadelphia's wealthy, and subsequent post-World War II development as a burgeoning community just over the Philadelphia border. Springfield Township's rich history is pictorially represented with a number of previously unpublished photographs from the township historical societ, and wonderful private collections. In these pages, travel through the early colonial and farming settlements of the township's original settlers, the turbulence of the Revolutionary War, the arrival of the iron horse, the excitement of White City Amusement Park, the rise and fall of the great mansions and estates, and the explosion of new development as city residents and businesses moved out to the suburbs.

Tenemos así una sucesión de capítulos que, comenzando con sus primeros...

Hernán Cortés. La verdadera historia

Libro Hernán Cortés. La verdadera historia

Hace 500 años España llega a México e impone, entre muchas otras cuestiones, lengua, gobierno y religión. ¿Qué era México antes de la llegada de los españoles? ¿Cortés destruyó una maravillosa civilización? ¿Por qué en el imaginario colectivo al conquistador se lo considera un militar cruel? ¿Qué habría pasado si los europeos no hubiesen llegado a América? En este libro Antonio Cordero analiza todas estas cuestiones de forma directa. Distinguiendo entre "nación" y "patria", Cordero afirma que La Malinche, compañera de Cortés, es la mujer más importante que ha dado...
