The Voyage of the Verrazzano is a historical non-fiction book written by Henry C. Murphy. The book tells the story of the Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano and his journey to the New World in 1524. Verrazzano was commissioned by the French king Francis I to explore the eastern coast of North America and find a passage to Asia. The book follows Verrazzano's journey from his departure from France to his arrival in North America, his encounters with Native American tribes, and his exploration of the coastline. Murphy provides a detailed account of Verrazzano's experiences, including his difficulties with navigation, the weather, and his interactions with the Native Americans. The book also discusses the historical significance of Verrazzano's journey, as it was one of the earliest European explorations of the North American coast. Murphy provides context for the political and economic climate of the time, as well as the impact of Verrazzano's journey on subsequent explorations of the New World. Overall, The Voyage of the Verrazzano is an informative and engaging read for anyone interested in early European exploration of North America and the history of the New World.I. That no evidence of the Verrazzano discovery ever existed in France, is not only necessarily presumed from the circumstance that none has ever been produced, but is inferentially established by the fact that all the French writers and historians, who have had occasion to consider the subject, have derived their information in regard to it from the Italian so-called copies of the letter, and until recently from that in Ramusio alone.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
