About the Author:

George Parker Winship, an 1893 graduate of Harvard College, spent twenty years at the institution now known as the John Carter Brown Library in Providence, Rhode Island, before returning to Harvard in 1915 as librarian of the Widener collection and as custodian of rare books. Later named assistant librarian, he retired in 1936 and operated his own press. Donald Cutter, a well-known scholar of Spanish colonial history, holds a Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley, and is Professor of History Emeritus at the University of New Mexico. He has authored many articles and books and lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
