Abstract:
Klappentext: The theme of this book is the vast virgin forest of North America and the attempt of the French and English to settle there. Eyewittness accounts, breathing the freshness of the events, give a clear impression of what life here was like - only seventy years after Columbus landed on the shores of the new continent. But most fascinating are the 63 watercolors by John White and the 23 engravings by Theodore de Bry.
