CHAPTER 1
Discoveries
It is a time of great discoveries. For Europeans, North America and South America are the New World. Explorers set out to claim land, spread their religion, and find riches.
Due to these European visitors, life for the native people changes forever. Explorers bring new words and a new religion to the American Indians. They bring unfamiliar tools, plants, and animals. They also bring terrible diseases.
Early European explorers traveled several months across the Atlantic Ocean to reach the New World.
Your adventure into the New World will introduce you to Christopher Columbus, Francisco Vázquez de Coronado, and René-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle. Each one explores a different part of the New World in a different century. Each meets a different group of native people.
Columbus sails from Spain in 1492. Spices, silk, and jewels from Asia bring high prices in Europe. But traveling eastward across Europe to Asia takes many months and is very expensive. Columbus believes he can find a cheaper shortcut by sailing west across the Atlantic Ocean. But Columbus doesn’t know that North and South America lie in the way.
In 1540, stories about the Seven Cities of Cíbola spread through Spain’s American colonies. Coronado hopes to find fame and riches by searching for these cities made of gold. But he doesn’t have a map.
In December 1681, La Salle sets out from Lake Michigan. He plans to canoe down the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico to claim land for the king of France. He’s ready to face wild animals, unfriendly Indians, and other unknown dangers.

CHAPTER 2
Christopher Columbus
Today is October 12, 1492. Three ships sail toward a string of islands. Columbus and his sailors think they’ve reached the Indies,
their name for East Asia. In fact, they’re close to North America.
Christopher Columbus led three ships, the Niña, the Pinta, and the Santa Maria, across the Atlantic Ocean in 1492.
The American Indians living on these islands call themselves the Tainos.
They have never seen ships or met Europeans.
Both groups of people are about to meet. Neither group knows it, but their lives will change forever.
