"THE LIFE AND VOYAGES OF AMERICUS VESPUCIUS with Illustrations Concerning 
the Navigator, and the Discovery of the New World."  By C. Edwards Lester & 
Andrew Foster. Published by Baker & Scribner: 1846.  Yes, we're talking 
about that Amerigo Vespucci, the man for whom the Americas are named. "The 
Life and Voyages of Americus Vespucius" is a scholarly attempt to examine 
the Vespucci controversy -did he or didn't he discover the American 
mainland 6 days before John Cabot?  Did he even make a voyage to America at 
all? Illustrated with a portrait and a magnificent folding plate of a real 
family "tree"!

No reserve.
