Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'In Quest of the Western Ocean' is a comprehensive historical narrative detailing the centuries-long endeavor to find a navigable water route from Europe to the Pacific Ocean across or around the North American continent. Nellis M. Crouse examines the motivations, challenges, and shifting geographic theories that drove explorers from various nations to brave unknown waters and rugged terrains in search of a shorter path to the riches of the East.The work meticulously traces the evolution of cartographic knowledge as early navigators transitioned from seeking a mythical strait to documenting the vast realities of the New World. From the early voyages of John Cabot and the French explorations of the St. Lawrence River to the persistent, often perilous searches for the elusive Northwest Passage, this study analyzes the political and economic pressures that fueled these ambitious expeditions. Crouse provides a scholarly account of how the obsession with a trade route ultimately led to the internal mapping and eventual settlement of the continent.

Neuware - 'In Quest of the Western Ocean' is a comprehensive historical account detailing the centuries-long search for a navigable sea route across the North American continent. Nellis M. Crouse meticulously traces the motivations and voyages of explorers from various European nations as they sought a direct path to the Pacific Ocean and the riches of the Orient.The narrative explores the evolution of geographical knowledge from the early Renaissance through the late 18th century. Crouse examines the efforts of major figures such as John Cabot, Jacques Cartier, and Henry Hudson, analyzing how their journeys-though often failing in their primary objective-gradually filled in the blank spaces on the map of the New World. The work delves into the various theories regarding the Northwest Passage and the legendary Strait of Anian, providing a scholarly look at the intersection of cartography, maritime ambition, and political rivalry.This study remains a significant resource for understanding the historical development of North American exploration and the persistent human drive to discover new frontiers.
