41-The Beginnings of Amerigo Vespucci
How could I talk about the discovery of America without involving this man, Amerigo Vespucci? His history relies so much on two letters written to a friend. He mentions a book that would cover the accounts of his voyages, a book never written? Or just never published and remains in someone’s deep dark cellar? You can find the letter describing his first voyage at http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1497vespucci-america.asp

43-Third Voyage of Vespucci
This voyage would change how the world was viewed, Mundus Novus or “New World” but, who cares, where is that passage to the orient?
