establishes an overview of the series, highlighting the intention to chronicle significant epochs through the words of those who experienced them, including Columbus and Washington. The introduction discusses early explorations, hinting at the complexity of discovering America, with arguments that Columbus was not the first. The opening chapters recount the Norse expeditions to Vinland, as well as Columbus's famed voyages that initiated European interest in the Americas.
