Beschreibung:
David Beers Quinn (1909-2002) authored more than thirty books on the history of early European exploration of North America. He earned a Ph.D. from King's College, London. Dr. Quinn taught at several institutions throughout his distinguished career: University of Southampton (1934-1939); Queens University, Belfast (1939-1944); University College, Swansea (1944-1957); and University of Liverpool (1957-1993).
Sixteenth-century narratives collected by Richard Hakluyt and drawings by John White offer remarkable firsthand evidence of the first voyages and attempts at colonization of the New World by the English.
