Book Synopsis

This book is Elizabethan Sea Dogs. The history of the United States back to its earliest form in 'the Newe Worlde called America. ' But who prepared the way for the pioneers from the Old World and what ensured their safety in the New? The title of the present volume, Elizabethan Sea Dogs, gives the only answer. It was during the reign of Elizabeth, the last of the Tudor sovereigns of England, that Englishmen won the command of the sea under the consummate leadership of Sir Francis Drake, the first of modern admirals. Drake and his companions are known to fame as Sea Dogs. They won the English right of way into Spain's New World. And Anglo American history begins with that century of maritime adventure and naval war in which English sailors blazed and secured the long sea trail for the men of every other kind who found or sought their fortunes in America.
