Description:

Based on Joseph Sabin's famed bibliography, Bibliotheca Americana, Sabin Americana, 1500--1926 contains a collection of books, pamphlets, serials and other works about the Americas, from the time of their discovery to the early 1900s. Sabin Americana is rich in original accounts of discovery and exploration, pioneering and westward expansion, the U.S. Civil War and other military actions, Native Americans, slavery and abolition, religious history and more.

Sabin Americana offers an up-close perspective on life in the western hemisphere, encompassing the arrival of the Europeans on the shores of North America in the late 15th century to the first decades of the 20th century. Covering a span of over 400 years in North, Central and South America as well as the Caribbean, this collection highlights the society, politics, religious beliefs, culture, contemporary opinions and momentous events of the time. It provides access to documents from an assortment of genres, sermons, political tracts, newspapers, books, pamphlets, maps, legislation, literature and more.

Now for the first time, these high-quality digital scans of original works are available via print-on-demand, making them readily accessible to libraries, students, independent scholars, and readers of all ages.

Notes: Added, engr. t. p.: Historia Antipodum oder Newe Welt. Originally published: Frankfurt, 1631. Abridgement of pts. 1-12 of Johann Theodor de Bry's German edition of the "Great voyages" as well as a reissue of pt. 14 of that work. There is another issue with p. [3-6], 1st count, from a different setting of type. That issue has "Flecken vnd Wohnplätzen" in title, and "vnerhörter" (instead of "unerhörter") in line 17 of title. Authorship has been erroneously ascribed to Johann Philipp Abelin (cf. Der königlich schwedische in Teutschland geführte Krieg / F. Gallati. Zurich, 1902). "Jean-Philippe Abelin published this work under the assumed name of Jean-Louis Gottfriedt. It contains a resumé of the histories of Acosta, Oviedo, Peter Martyr, Herrera, Laet &c. An account of 33 voyages to America, from Columbus to Spilbergen and Schouten; notices of the expeditions of Lemaire and Peter Heyn, the conquests of Brazil by the Dutch, and descriptions of Greenland and Spitzbergen."
