More DescriptionIn this interactive eBook, readers will learn about the life and accomplishments of Giovanni da Verrazzano whose detailed account of the places he visited would prove to be a key source of information about North America. The well-educated son of an Italian family, Verrazzano grew up in Lyon, France. This explains why his historic explorations of the coast of eastern North America were undertaken in the name of the French king. Through supplemental resources and text written at a variety of levels of complexity, readers will also learn about Verrazzano's later journey to Brazil and his final journey, in 1528, which ended tragically when he was killed and eaten by cannibals in the Caribbean. Other exciting interactive features include timelines, maps, actor-narrated audio, and videos.
