“The” Early Voyages

“The” Early Voyages Francis Drake Becomes Rich and Gains Influence ; 1566 - 1577

This is the first volume of a unique biography of Sir Francis Drake in four volumes. Unique because the author, a Sherlock Holmes of the sea, has retraced all Drake's voyages during the last 20 years. The pictorial topographical text is laced with research and techniques, ground-breaking discoveries and adventures in reaching all the Drake places. The book reveals the ultimate geographical Drake knowledge, written on location. It recounts the slave-trading with Hawkins off the west coast of Africa, stealing the gold and silver from the Spaniards in Panama and helping the Earl of Essex in Ireland.
