Ober, Frederick Albion. Pizarro and the conquest of Peru. **$1. Harper.
The latest volume in the “Heroes of American history” series. The account is a full one of the man, who with a mere handful of soldiers invaded and made conquest of the Inca’s stronghold in Peru. The volume of less than three hundred pages condenses a great deal of material which has heretofore existed only in a bulky unabridged form.
