During the Age of Discovery many explorers voyaged from Europe in the quest for a shortcut to Asia. Christopher Columbus, the first of these men, thought he had accomplished the goal, little knowing he had encountered a new continent. His exploits launched the voyages of discoveries that featured men like John Cabot, Henry Hudson and John White. The New World Discoverers tells the stories of many of these explorers of the new world in what would become Colonial America. History remembers these men as they engaged in their quest of New World Exploration.

"Send those on land that will show themselves diligent writers." So urged the "sailing instructions" prepared for explorer Henry Hudson. With distinctive command of the primary texts created by such "diligent writers" as Columbus, William Bradford, and Thomas Jefferson, Wayne Franklin describes how the New World was created from their new words. The long verbal discovery of America, he asserts, entailed both advance and retreat, sudden insights and blind insistence on old ways of seeing. The discoverers, explorers, and settlers depicted America in words—or via maps, tables, and landscape views—as a complex spatial and political entity, a place where ancient formula and current fact were inevitably at odds.
