Weise gathers what the ancient and medieval world reported of lands beyond the western ocean, then follows the Portuguese navigators, Columbus and his four voyages, the Cabots, and the explorers who charted the coasts from Florida to Mexico and northward up to the mid-1520s, reproducing copies of rare early maps along the way.
Old-fashioned but richly documented, it suits readers who want the age of discovery told from the sources. Download the free EPUB.
