Includes bibliographical references and index.

At the end of the 15th century, Europeans began sending ships across the uncharted Atlantic in search of faster trade routes to Asia. The "New World" they found instead brought great wealth, increased geographical knowledge of the globe, and opportunities to interact with, learn from, and exploit the existing inhabitants. This volume presents firsthand accounts of the voyages of the men who explored, settled, and conquered these new European discoveries.
