América mágica

"This is an account of the conflicting experiences of discovering the New-World, drawing upon the intriguing tales of early discovery and amazing illustrations of the day. The authors invoke the exhilaration of exploration, investigating the conflict between the ambitious idealism and harsh realities that have always characterized and torn the country. After all, did people not go to America in search of both the Garden of Eden and the tribes of the damned?"--BOOK JACKET.
