About this book
The second American volume of Richard Hakluyt’s collection gathers English reports of exploration and colonial claims, preserving documentary material for readers interested in the history of overseas expansion. From Mount Royal, one traveler surveys cultivable land and distant rapids, while the language barrier keeps the party from learning how far the next falls lie. A royal grant to Walter Raleigh spells out the rights and duties attached to taking possession, including a share of precious metals for the Crown. After fire destroys an isolated fort, two Indigenous kings arrive with a large party, placing English vulnerability beside local concern and authority.
