内容紹介
This unique volume explores the often dramatic history of the Americas through the birth and development of the continents' great cities. Organized geographically in four chapters, accompanied by historical maps, and enriched with rare prints, drawings, and photographs, Historic Cities of the Americas provides a wealth of information for the student or traveler (armchair and otherwise). Detailing the founding and history of 120 great cities of the Americas and the Caribbean, entries include such cities as Halifax in the north to Buenos Aires in the south, with stops along the way in such locales as Kingston, New York City, Norfolk, Pensacola, Havana, Santiago, Guatemala City, Mexico City, San Salvado, Corrientes, Rio de Janeiro, and Valpara'so. Suggestions for further reading by city are included in each chapter and a detailed bibliography and index round out this work.
