Conquest of a Continent: 1492–1783 examines the early centuries of contact between Indigenous nations and European colonizers, tracing how competing worldviews, legal precedents and political strategies shaped North American history.

The narrative surveys the period from first encounters through shifting alliances, wars and political adaptations. It explains how doctrines and papal rulings influenced colonial policy and set long-term legal patterns affecting Indigenous sovereignty.

Readers will find a balanced, research-driven account that emphasizes Native perspectives often missing from traditional histories and highlights cultural exchange, resistance and survival amid colonial pressures.
