Conquest Of The Land exploration and conquest of the land that comprises presentday Georgia. His voyage to the new world was doubted, mostly because only copies of his http://www.ourgeorgiahistory.com/early/conquest_of_the_land.html
Extractions: Conquest of the Land John Cabot explores the American Coast Earliest of the claims to Georgia dates back to 1498, when Italian explorer John Cabot (Giovanni Cabotto), sailing under the English flag explored coastal America. Cabot made two trips to coastal America (well, actually one and a half since he never returned from the second trip), one in 1497 where he discovered a place he called Newfoundland, and one in 1498 when he returned to "Newfoundland" and continued south along the coast of what is now the United States. The best support for the English claim of "rights of discovery" to the Southeastern coast of the United States comes from, interestingly, a Spanish map that was drawn a few years after his voyage. Juan de la Cosa owned the Santa Maria, and as such, joined Christopher Columbus (an Italian sailing under a Spanish flag) on two of his early voyages. On those journeys Columbus' efforts were directed at island hopping through the Caribbean and not exploration of the Atlantic coast. Still, de la Cosa accurately depicted the Caribbean, which he knew, and the Atlantic side of North America, which he could not have known, on a map dated 1500, but probably drawn over a period of about 10 years early in the 16th century. Additionally, five English flags (royal standards) are drawn on the map, and a notation "discovered by the English."

Extractions: Introduction: Early Explorers This history unit focuses on early explorations. Students will learn about different explorers and what they discovered. The first explorer that students will learn about is Christopher Columbus. Columbus discovered America in 1492. Amerigo Vespucci is another famous explorer who did some explorations in North America. He was so important that America was named after him! Another explorer that this unit covers is Ferdinand Magellan who did his explorations in South America. This unit includes a list of children's books and some useful websites for teachers. Included in this unit are some technology activities and a geography lesson that relate to early exploration. After completing this unit, students should have an understanding of who some of the early explorers were and what they discovered. This topic is very relevant in our community because I realized that some of the third graders in my class had not heard of Christopher Columbus.

Extractions: The modern horse evolved over three million years ago and then disappeared from this hemisphere 10,000 years ago. The horse returned to North America when explorers Cortes and DeSoto came mounted on magnificent Barbs from Morocco, Sorraia from Portugal and Andalusians from Spain. Moorish occupation of the Spanish countryside brought with it the Berber horse, also known as the Barb, an animal that had a strong genetic impact on equine development throughout Europe, North Africa, and the New World. Interbreeding with native stock produced the delicately gaited Spanish Jennet. They were subsequently bred with the Andalusian. Just as the Moorish conquest of Spain introduced a potentially promising breed to that country, so it was with Columbus' second voyage to the New World, when he transported the first horses to Santo Domingo - now the Dominican Republic. These animals were a mix of the Berber , the Jennet and the Andalusian . Future voyagers would add to their numbers in Mexico and South America, but the overall isolation established these as the ancestors to the

Extractions: Mentone Alabama: A History By Zora Shay Strayhorn Order a copy of this book. The Explorers Wherever one turns in Mentone, long shadows of the past cast their reflections of events and of people who traveled through here as explorers and adventurers. Towns, villages, rivers, parkways, atomic sights, and cities all carry the names of people or events in Alabama history. Credit may be given to the English, Irish, and Scots for the language. The French contributed, among other things, the flowering shrub azalea that is native to Mentone. The English were among the first to build churches and schools and to establish law and blue laws. The popular dances at the Crafts Festival held each summer in Mentone reflect the Irish jig and the Highland fling which started in the mountains of North Carolina. The Indians and the African slaves brought here first by the French have also influenced the culture: Mrs. Paul White, great-granddaughter of John Mason, renowned as Mentones founder, is a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution which erected a historical marker at Fort Morgan on Mobile Bay. The marker reads: In memory of Prince Madoc, a Welsh explorer, who landed on the shores of Mobile Bay in 1170 and left behind, with the Indians, the Welsh language. Many authorities vigorously agree that Madoc landed in Alabama and came on up into Tennessee and Georgia and that there are three forts which are of pre-Columbian origin. The forts were built in defense of a people, apparently in deadly fear of their lives.

Extractions: For the second time in his life, the Conquistador stood upon an unknown shore and peered into the tangled gloom of primal forest that began abruptly beyond a narrow stretch of sun-bleached sand. Even in the early morning the heat and humidity of early spring in this land were only barely dispersed by the slight sea breeze that flapped the sails of his small flotilla. By noon both would be oppressive. Once his band of volunteer soldiery entered into that trackless low-lying swampland, without even a breath of wind, it would be nearly unbearable, trying the fortitude of even the most seasoned of soldiers. The Conquistador also knew that the trials of the line of march would require the utmost discipline and authority by his officers and the absolute unity of his command.

Extractions: After its winning nine prestigious awards from mainstream economic and public affairs organizations, why have we Georgists not reviewed this book earlier! No book's thesis more directly flies in the face of our own arguments than what Dr. Hernando DeSoto has proposed. And now, with the rave reviews given to this, his second work, we are compelled to confront what he claims and to demonstrate the sleight-of-hand in his argument. In the absence of more qualified adherents of the Georgist persuasion, I have set myself this task. Where is this capital? It lies in every legally-secured asset: "every piece of land, every house, every chattel," all "formally fixed in updated records governed by rules contained in the property system." (p.48) He suggests that in developed economies, "up to 70 percent of the credit new businesses receive comes from using formal titles as collateral for mortgages," (p.84) and that "real estate accounts for some 50 percent of the national wealth of advanced nations." (p.86) Nowhere, however, is this identification of "capital" parsed for what it really is: largely land. As a true neoclassical economist, despite his ritual homage to Adam Smith, everything that the
Extractions: [Original headline: On de Soto's trail] The ancient oak was surely just an acorn when the carved wooden statue of Jesus fell or was buried here hundreds of years ago. Tim White was cutting some high grass and bamboo around the now-massive tree when he found the icon with the outstretched but partially missing arms. Upside down and tangled in the roots, its flat wood base looked like a 2-inch sapling, chopped off by a machete at ground level. But it moved to the touch, so, curious, he dug it out. "I'm wondering if somebody didn't die and they buried it with him," he says of the statue of Jesus. It turns out the 7 1/2-inch-high figure with the long, heavy fringed robe and shoulder-length, straight hair was carved from European olive wood and has been carbon dated to within 49 years of the time when Spanish conquistador Hernando de Soto marched across North Mississippi near here on his way to cross the Mississippi River. White, 60, who has done extensive research on his find and the explorer's likely route, thinks the de Soto entourage of priests, officers, soldiers and native porters camped at least briefly during the winter of 1541 in and around his back yard.
Extractions: Imagine a country where nobody can identify who owns what, people cannot be made to pay their debts, resources cannot conveniently be turned into money, ownership cannot be divided through documents, descriptions of assets are not standardized and can not be easily compared, and the rules that govern property vary from neighborhood to neighborhood or even from street to street. You have just put yourself into the life of a developing country or former communist nation; more precisely, you have imagined life for 80 per cent of its population, which is marked off as sharply from its Westernized elite as black and white South Africans were once separated by apartheid. Over the last 10 years, with varying degrees of enthusiasm, Third World and former Soviet Union nations - where 5 billion of the world's 6 billion people live - carried out the macroeconomic policies the West recommended: they balanced their budgets, cut subsidies, welcomed foreign investment, and dropped their tariff barriers. Yet from Argentina to Russia, capitalist reformers are now intellectually on the defensive, increasingly derided as apologists for the miseries and injustices that still plague the poor. The enterprises of the poor are very much like the Peruvian Telephone Company before it had good title and could issue shares or bonds to obtain new investment and finance. No less than 80 per cent of the people in Third World and former Soviet nations have good property representations. As a result, most of them are undercapitalized, in the same way that a firm is undercapitalized when it issues fewer securities than its income and assets would justify. Without property records and representations, their assets remain financially and commercially invisible: they are dead capital.

Extractions: The mission of De Soto National Memorial is to commemorate Spanish explorer Hernando de Soto, who landed on the southwest Florida coast in 1539. With an army of 600 soldiers, Soto had come to the new world with a license from the King of Spain to explore, colonize and pacify the Indians of the area known as "La Florida". The expedition faced many hardships throughout the four-year, 4000-mile journey. Programs at the park explain the prevailing 16th century Spanish cultural values and the inevitable clash with the native cultures the expedition encountered. This expedition was the first large scale European mission into the interior of North America. Survivors of the expedition reported the abundance of rich natural resources found in "La Florida".
