It all started in searching for the Northwest Passage...
Try to
relate from day to day the great adventure begun in the 16th century that was
the construction of the United States of America is obviously a project as
crazy as exciting. Maybe is it even simply unrealistic ?
Follow the
uncertain trails of those who were engaged into a project as ambitious as the
conquest of a continent is not an easy work. Events which made history but also
more ordinary facts that people lived over generations, characters who carved
their name in memories or stepped incidentally into the limelight, happy or
unfortunate hours, tragedies or dreams come true with in background the frontal
clash of irreconcilable cultures one to the other, these are the purposes of
this timeline.
With the
help of dates, events, biographies, comments, illustrations, maps, follow the
adventure from the beginning. It is time to weigh anchor and sail off Lizard
Point to face the ocean and keep heading to this huge country called America.
Welcome
aboard,
