In Cooperation with Spoken Realms
THE DISCOVERY OF AMERICA With Some Account of Ancient America and the Spanish Conquest. by JOHN FISKE. Houghton Mifflin 1902.
Volume One of 3 Volumes on The Discovery of America - from The Historical Writings of John Fiske in Twelve Volumes. this volume originally published in 1892.
Narrated by Joseph Tabler
Volume One is the story of the trials and tribulations over many years of how the Old World—involving Norse men, Marco Polo, Portuguese, Aztecs, Mound Builders, etc—finally made the decision to seek out...the Indies..... in detail.
"The Discovery of America is a fitting introduction to American history. Its thorough and conscientious scholarship and its engaging style make it appeal alike to scholars and to the general reader, while the broad scientific thought pervading it marks it as a characteristic and significant product of the influence of Darwinism upon historical research."
(Edward G. Bourne, Ph. D. Professor at Yale - Review in Political Science Quarterly 1893, JSTOR)

Available Audiobooks—The books I am proposing to read for you may have a few extraneous sounds and will be imperfectly read and produced. Hopefully, you will excuse any defects, as these Old books are quite unlikely to become audiobooks otherwise and still have great value. Joseph Tabler. Aloha.
