"A General History and Collection of Voyages and Travels — Volume 06" by Robert Kerr is a historical compilation from the 1800s, part of a bigger series that tells the story of how navigation, discovery, and commerce grew across both oceans and land, starting from ancient times up to the era discussed. The book recounts early English voyages to America, charting the journeys of people like Jacques Cartier and Sebastian Cabot. The book starts by laying out subject matter which includes discussions about the initial voyages of John and Sebastian Cabot, with attention to their unearthing of Newfoundland. It shows the past times of these travels, along with insight into King Henry VII's sway and what drove expeditions at the time. The book also describes happenings when coming into contact with native people during that time, which shows their ways of life and traditions. From start to finish, the opening chapters create an idea of the Age of Discovery and how critical maritime expeditions shaped the first worldwide interactions.
