Book excerpt: Herbert Eugene Bolton was born on a Wisconsin farm in 1870 to humble people, working his way up the academic ranks until he earned his Ph.D. from the University of Pennsylvania. From the year 1900 forward, Bolton taught several kinds of history, from Medieval European to Native American before settling in on his most extensive life's work: the subject of the colonizations of North America and its effects on the relationships between Anglo and Spanish peoples. His legacy of works on Spanish colonial history are still lauded today as some of the most prolific and impactful teachings on the subject. For instance, the Bolton Prize is bestowed by the professional organization of Latin American historians in his name to honor those recognized for exemplary work in English and Latin American history.
