Exploration and conquest : the Americas after Columbus, 1500-1620 / by Betsy and Giulio Maestro. 1st ed. New York : HarperCollins. 1994. 48 pages : color illustrations, maps ; 29 cm. Christopher Columbus was not the first to discover the Americas, but his voyages led to European exploration of the New World. Rich in resources and natural beauty, the Americas were irresistible to gold-hungry conquistadors. The newcomers gave little thought to those who had called the lands their home, and exploration soon came to signify conquest. The New World -- and the lives of its inhabitants -- would be changed forever. 1030 Lexile exploration age of discovery Maestro, Giulio, ill. 7 cbc orignew 1 ocip 19 y-gencatlg ddc BK 0 461 461 0 0 ddc 0 0 NFIC 001 001 TKSNF 2023-04-25 0 MAE 970.01 E121.M27 FISTK01668 2023-04-25 00:00:00 2023-04-25 BK
