Book Description
The Voyage of John De Verazzano, written 1524, was a letter to King Francis the I of France by Giovanni (or John) da Verrazzano upon his exploration of North Carolina and the Pamlico Sound, which he thought was the entrance to the Pacific Ocean. His analysis resulted in one of many errors in the way North America was represented on a map; it was not fully and correctly mapped until the late 1800s. The letter, translated from its original Italian, provides an interesting insight into how the newly-discovered continent was viewed by explorers and other countries. Also included is an account, in Italian, of Verazzano's discovery of New York Harbor.GIOVANNI DA VERRAZZANO (1485-1528) was an Italian explorer of North America, the first European since the colonization of the Americas by the Norse colonies to explore the Atlantic coast. Born near Florence, he soon moved to France and started a career as a navigator, after which he was invited to explore North America by the French King Francis I. Throughout his years, he explored New York Harbor, Narragansett Bay, the coast of Maine, Newfoundland and Nova Scotia, Florida, the Bahamas, and the Lesser Antilles. Verrazzano made a total of three trips, dying in 1528 after embarking on an island and being killed and eaten by the local Carib cannibals.

Book Description
American historian Henry Cruse Murphy attempted to show that the claims of discovery made by Giovanni da Verrazzano were unauthentic. Verrazzano was the Italian navigator and explorer for France who was the first European to discover New York and Narragansett bays. In addition, he was the first European explorer to name newly discovered North American locations after persons and places of the Old World. Verrazzano wrote engaging accounts of the lands and inhabitants he encountered though it is believed that these reports were sometimes inaccurate. In this work, Murphy said that various letters attributed to this explorer were fragmented and distorted, making them unreliable. He added that Verrazzano did not write the descriptions of the people and the land from his personal observations. Therefore, the reality of the Natives remained unnoticed, and what was mentioned of them was untrue. Murphy went on to discredit various other letters by the European explorer.
