Description

Irene M. Franck (au); David M. Brownstone (au). For centuries, Europeans treasured the spices, jewels, & porcelain of Asia brought to the West by Asian traders. In the late 15th century, the Europeans themselves began to search for a sea route to the Far East. This book recounts many of the early, often dangerous journeys into the uncharted lands & seas of the New World, & describes in colorful detail the evolution of some of the world’s most important trade & travel routes, including: the Panama Route through Central Amer.; the Inca Royal Road through South Amer.; the California Mission Trail; & the Cape Horn Route, which took ships around the tip of South Amer. Maps & illustrations.
