Prompt for Prescott's Conquest of Mexico

Hi all,
Happy Constitution Day! Here's Nick's and my offering. 

Explain why you think that the History of the Conquest of Mexico is more useful as an actual history of the conquest, or as a an example of a certain phase in the development of the research and writing of history. And what silences might Troillot be most interested in breaking from Prescott's work?
