Occasionally the American Little, Brown & Co. edition will include a biography of Parkman issued later in the United States. Parkman (1823-1893) spent years garnering material for his histories of the French & Indian Wars, the expansion of European settlers into the North American continent, and the tragic impact on the American Indians. His historiography was steeped in the innate belief of Anglo-American racial superiority, felt that American Indians were perhaps doomed to extinction, and selectively chose the documents employed in his histories. His works influenced generations of historians, some have gone through considerable reappraisal, and others such as the Oregon Trail continue to be read and studied.

Condition: Very Good
Description: 12 vols., 8vo, half-title and b/w frontis. to each vol., t.e.g., marbled endpapers, contemp. half morocco gilt over marbled boards, minor wear to some extremities, all vols. uniformly slightly sunned on spines, not affecting gilt, nevertheless still a VG+ set.

Francis Parkman was born in Boston on 16th September, 1823. After attending Harvard University he explored the Oregon Trail. He also spent time living with the Sioux. His book, The Oregon Trail was published in 1849. This was followed by the two-volume History of the Conspiracy of Pontiac (1851). Parkman took history writing very seriously. He once wrote: "Faithfulness to the truth of history involves far more than a research, however patient and scrupulous, into special facts. The narrator must seek to imbue himself with the life and spirit of the time." Parkman suffered from poor health and gradually lost his sight. It is said that he was only able to write for a few minutes at a time. However, he still managed to complete Pioneers of France in the New World (1865), The Jesuits in North America in the 17th Century (1867), Discovery of the Great West (1869), Old Regime in Canada (1874), Count Frontenac and New France Under Louis XIV (1877), Montcalm and Woolfe (1884) and A Half-Century of Conflict (1892). Francis Parkman died on 8th November, 1893.
