The Preface states:
In the pages which follow, it has been the aim of the writer to give a history of the discovery and earliest exploration of the New World, by means of a chain of biographies of the principal discoverers, reaching from pre-Columbian times to the latter part of the eighteenth century. Not only does this chain extend through this period of time, but it encompasses the American continent, from the coast of Greenland to Cape Horn, and thence to Behring Strait, and even reaches to Australia and the archipelagoes of the South Pacific. All belong to the era of New World discovery …
