La presencia española en el territorio de lo que ahora son los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica se mantuvo trescientos años. El binomio presidio-misiones fue la piedra angular de su conquista, cristianización y defensa, tanto de la amenaza interior representada por los indios, como de la exterior a cargo de otras potencias. Presidio hace un amplio repaso a la documentación existente sobre este importante capítulo de la historia, la conquista de Norteamérica, en aquellas primeras y complicadas décadas, y lo hace con una narrativa sencilla, en la que los propios protagonistas toman la palabra para narrar los eventos. The Spanish presence in the territory of what is now the United States of America lasted three hundred years. The presidio-missions binomial was the cornerstone of its conquest, Christianization and defense, both from the internal threat posed by the Indians, and from the external threat posed by other powers. Presidio makes a broad review of the existing documentation on this important chapter of history, the conquest of North America, in those first and complicated decades, and does so with a simple narrative, in which the protagonists themselves take the floor to narrate the events.
