Early American Civilization and Exploration, 1607, Volume 1
While some historians argue that Christopher Columbus' arrival in North America marked the beginning of one of the world's greatest civilizations, others claim that the appearance of European explorers in the new world set in motion a cultural genocide unparalleled in human history. Authors of this volume discuss the exploration and colonization of America up to 1607. This book presents primary source documents that will intrigue readers, and secondary sources that offer a distanced, analytical perspective.
