This biographical volume details the life and background of American historian William Hickling Prescott. It traces his New England ancestry, his education at Harvard College, and a college accident that caused the permanent loss of one eye and severe damage to the other. Deprived of a legal career due to these debilitating visual impairments, Prescott ultimately turned his focus toward literature and historical research.
