AMERIGO: A Comedy of Errors in History
By
The story of Amerigo Vespucci, and of how America was named. An unravelling of sources of information and misinformation, neatly fitted into place to show how a succession of minor accidents resulted in pinning the glory of continent on a comparatively unimportant explorer. An odd bit of erudition, which may well become a standard work, correcting the misinformation which has found its way into history.
