Or alternately a really trashy one with heaving breasts on the cover.

It would be a hell of a research project. But if I wanted to go that way, I would definitely also tell the story of why the Inquisition didn't become powerful that far north. It involves a married couple of serial killing American Indian servants, and a priest who became convinced it was witchcraft, and a massive Inquisitional investigation that resulted in four hangings. The married pair of poisoners, a shaman who as best I can tell was absolutely nuts from taking too many hallucinogens, and the priest who started it all, mostly for being too stupid for words. After that, the governor just about kicked the Inquisition out, and there never was another Inquisitional investigation.
I became extremely depressed in college, and part of what pulled me out of it was realizing that my previous career path was exposing me to way too much human darkness. I ended up becoming really fascinated by small children, so I'm going back to school for early childhood ed, and becoming a teacher.
