America begins;: The story of the finding of the New World; Dalgliesh, Alice

Description

This is a picture story for children who are beginning to be curious about the things that happened in America long before they were born. The book is not a complete history of exploration; those stories and high spots are selected which give an introduction to a group of men all of whom had great courage and endurance; some of whom were also ruthless conquerors. It gives a clear picture of the struggle for riches between the great European powers.
