DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe three volumes of North American Exploration appraise the full scope of the exploration of the North American continent and its oceanic margins from prior to the arrival of Columbus until the end of the nineteenth century. More than an assessment of historical events, these volumes portray the process of exploration. Without forgetting the romance of discovery, the authors recognize that exploration encompasses a great deal more than the adventures themselves. All explorers are conditioned by the time, place, and circumstances of their efforts; these determine objectives, the behavior of explorers, and the consequences of their discoveries. ø The second volume includes the exploration of North America from the Spanish entrada of the sixteenth century to the British and Russian explorations of the Pacific coastal regions at the end of the eighteenth century?a time during which North America was largely defined and understood in terms of advancing scientific viewpoints during the European Enlightenment. Discovery gave way to Exploration and supposition to understanding.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe exploration of American, from Columbus to Lewis and Clark, is one of the great adventures in human history, not only for the legendary heroism and determination of the men who undertook it, but for their still larger enterprise in planting in this wild, new world the seeds of civilization. Professor Brebner, in this classic account - by far the best written of the opening of the new hemisphere - considers both of these aspects. Basing his research on the diaries, records, and journals of the explorers themselves, he note only traces their progress but reveals them as human beings against a huge panorama in the Spaniards - Ponce de Leon, Cortés, Coronado, de Soto - push forward from the South; the French - Cartier, Champlain, Jolliet, Marquette - move down from the North: British and Americans set out westward from the Atlantic; and the Russians come down from Alaska. Brebner tells of the conditions of travel in the wilderness, of the aims of the early explorers, of the Indians in their primitive state, and of the way in which the North American continent was crossed and recrossed and finally unveiled within three hundred years by intrepid men -- Back cover.
