The History of Puerto Rico
The History of Puerto Rico: From the Spanish Discovery to the American Occupation | Rudolph Adams Van Middeldyk
1 post
Van Middledyk's work was the first major historical study of Puerto Rico in English. Van Middledyk advanced Puerto Rican historiography by building on the works of Brau, Coll y Toste, and Acosta, and by consulting early Spanish chronicles. A librarian at the Free Public Library of San Juan, Van Middledyk possessed knowledge of and access to considerable primary source material. His history is sympathetic to the Indians and highly critical of Spanish colonial administration. Coming in the wake of American military occupation, the book sought to explain and justify control of the island by the United States.

#PRenmicorazon @BookishMarginalia and @WanderingBookaneer Something I bought for you no lie, more than a year ago, is about to ship. The printer has requested me to make sure my mailing address is up to date prior to Aug 1, & it makes the most sense to have them mail it to you directly. Can one of you email me rmtizz @ Gmail .com with an address for August so I can have them mail to you directly?

BookishMarginalia Of course! 💜 5y
