This book is an analysis of historical documents, maps, and charts that illustrate voyages and discoveries along the coasts of North American, specifically in the region that would become the state of Maine. Beginning with the medieval period, the author describes the gradual exploration of the area, starting with the writings of the Northmen in the tenth century, through Portuguese fishing expeditions in the sixteenth century, all the way up to the settlement of French colonists in the seventeenth century. The book includes a special analysis of the famous map of 1544, which was allegedly drawn by the Italian explorer Sebastian Cabot.
