Francis Drake In The New World

Sir Francis Drake is freely conceded to be one of the greatest of all English seamen by world historians. He was the first captain to navigate a vessel completely around the globe, and is credited with masterminding the naval tactics that contributed to the devastation of the Spanish galleon fleet in 1588. Controversy and conflicting documentation have surrounded Drake's voyage up the Pacific Coast of North America, but author Donald Viles' sea background enabled him to solve an ancient archeological mystery at Neah-Kah-Nie Mountain.
