Seller's Description:
Full page color illustration. VG lg sz PB. Beautiful condition. An epic voyage that changed history. In 1497 the first European set foot on the North American mainland. And claimed it for the English crown. Led by John Cabaot, a small band of hardy sailors had braved the stormy, uncharted seas of the North Atlantic in a single, 3-masted sailing ship. Because of this voyage, Americans speak English rather than Spanish or Indian. Little is known about John Cabot. On the 500th anniversary of his discovery, another crew of intrepid sailors set out tomake the same journey in a replica of Cabot's ship. Maps, many full page color photos.
