First Published in 1967. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.
First published in 1967. This volume looks at the voyages of
Americo Vespucio, to use the Spanish form of the name Amerigo
Vespucci, who sailed to the West under the Spanish flag in 1499 and
again in 1501 when he sailed to gain geographical information for
the King of Portugal who like the King of Spain had been confused
by the contradictory reports of Columbus. Columbus to his death
believed that he had landed in Asia and not the Americas. Americo
discovered the Amazon and the Para Rivers and explored over 6000
miles of continuous shoreline between Venezuela, which he named and
a harbour about fifty degrees south on the coast of Argentina. In
1502 he presented 'proof' of the existence of the 'New World'.
Americo crossed the Atlantic Ocean and found out and reported what
was really there, naming the continent America from the Latin
version of his name.
