Exploration of North America - Colouring Book

Thirty-nine realistically rendered line drawings -- many of them double-page spreads -- depict historic events that span centuries of exploration, from the arrival of the Vikings in Vinland (ca. 1000 A.D.) to the establishment of colonies in Virgina, Maryland and Massachusetts, and the exploration of the American Far West by Zebulon Pike and Jedediah Smith. Among the scenes captured by artist Peter Copeland are Columbus' ship Nina anchored off the Bahamian coast (1492), John Cabot exploring Canada's East Coast (1497), Ponce de Leon in Florida (1513), Verrazano exploring the middle Atlantic coast (1524), Cortes' conquest of Mexico and overthrow of the Aztec empire (1519), Coronado exploring the Southwest (1540-1542), Francis Drake in California before completing his round-the-world voyage (1577-1580), the ill-fated Roanoke colony (1584-1587), Samuel de Champlain establishing the first permanent French colony in North America (1608) and 30 other excellent illustrations.
