The Discovery of Guiana and the Journal of the Second Voyage Thereto - Walter Raleigh - Bog

The Discovery of Guiana and the Journal of the Second Voyage Thereto is a book written by the English explorer and writer, Sir Walter Raleigh. The book is a first-hand account of Raleigh's expeditions to Guiana, a region in South America that was largely unexplored by Europeans at the time. The book is divided into two parts. The first part, The Discovery of Guiana, describes Raleigh's first voyage to the region in 1595, during which he explored the Orinoco River and encountered the indigenous people of the area. The second part, The Journal of the Second Voyage Thereto, is a detailed account of Raleigh's second expedition to Guiana in 1617, during which he searched for the legendary city of El Dorado. The book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of exploration and discovery in the 16th and 17th centuries, and is a valuable resource for historians and scholars interested in the history of South America and the early European exploration of the continent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
