Columbus and Other Heroes of American Discovery

This book has illustrated drop-caps at the start of each chapter. These illustrations may adversely affect the pronunciation of the word with screen-readers or not display properly in some handheld devices. This book was written in a period when many words had not become standardized in their spelling. Words may have multiple spelling variations or inconsistent hyphenation in the text. These have been left unchanged unless indicated with a Transcribers Note. Transcribers Notes are used when making corrections to the text or to provide additional information for the modern reader. These notes are identified by symbols in the text and are shown immediately below the paragraph in which they appear. The present volume is intended to give a general idea of the progress of exploration in the districts now forming Canada and the United States, with the general advance of the white man westwards. The chief authorities consulted in the preparation of the Heroes of the Exodus to the West were the reports to their superiors of the early Jesuit missionaries; George Bancrofts History of the United States; Bryants Popular History of the United States; and Bancrofts Native Races of the Pacific. But reference has also been made to the original works of all the great travelers in the districts under notice; while much valuable geographical information has been culled from the Journals of the learned Societies both of England and America, and from Rcluss Gegraphie Universelle. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
