The Life and Voyages of Verrazzano, and an Inquiry into the Authenticity of Documents Concerning a Discovery in North America is a historical book written by George Washington Greene in 1864. The book explores the life and voyages of Giovanni da Verrazzano, an Italian explorer who is credited with being the first European to explore the eastern coast of North America. Greene's book provides a detailed account of Verrazzano's life and his various expeditions, including his famous voyage to North America in 1524. The author also examines the authenticity of various documents related to Verrazzano's voyages, including letters and maps that were allegedly created by the explorer himself.
