Prescott, apesar de amblíope, escreveu um conjunto notável e ainda hoje valioso de obras sobre a colonização castelhana da América Central e do Sul e sobre a monarquia espanhola. Foi um dos primeiros historiadores a aplicar os modernos métodos de investigação histórica às fontes arquivísticas castelhanas relacionadas com a América do Sul. Permeneceu nos anos de 1815-1816 em Ponta Delgada, Açores, cidade onde vivia o seu avô materno, tentando recuperar dos seus problemas oftálmicos.
