All of the volumes in the series are carefully edited, each containing a concise, yet informative, introduction, a timeline, and numerous illustrations. This book concentrates on the European discovery of America, firsthand accounts are provided regarding the first three voyages of Columbus, together with later journeys made by James Cartier, Humfrey Gilbert, and Philip Amadas with Arthur Barlow.
