Historical View of the Progress of Discovery on the More Northern Coasts of America: From the Earliest Period to the Present Time (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book details the history of early European exploration of the coastal regions of northern North America, the Arctic, and the New World. The author provides a comprehensive narrative of the major expeditions, beginning with that of John Cabot in 1497, whose discovery of Newfoundland opened the way for further exploration. The book explores the motives, methods, and outcomes of these expeditions, revealing the complex interplay between scientific inquiry, economic ambition, and geopolitical rivalry that drove European expansion. The book also delves into the cultural encounters between explorers and the indigenous peoples they encountered, shedding light on the often-overlooked perspectives and experiences of the latter. By contextualizing these expeditions within the broader framework of European history and the history of exploration, this book provides a fresh and engaging perspective on the early history of the Americas.
