"The Letters of Amerigo Vespucci, and Other Documents Illustrative of His Career" by Clements R. Markham is a historical compilation that looks into the life and voyages of Amerigo Vespucci during the Age of Discovery. It uses Vespucci's letters and other historical papers to show his shift from a merchant in Florence to an important explorer. The book looks at Vespucci's journeys, the different lands he saw, and the people he met, while also questioning how true his claims were, especially regarding the extent of his discoveries in the New World, all of which happened in the late 1400s.
