I found a site with Prescott's book, Conquest of Peru, and many of his other literary works for free to read, electronically.

This site, The World of Dante, is a multi-media research tool intended to facilitate the study of the Divine Comedy through a wide range of offerings. These include an encoded Italian text which allows for structured searches and analyses, an English translation, interactive maps, diagrams, music, a database, timeline and gallery of illustrations. Many of these features allow users to engage the poem dynamically through the integrated components of this site.

This is a super cool resource for anyone who needs to understand more about the works of Dante. Maps, pictures, and such.
