About the book

In 1507, a German cartographer working in Saint Die, in the Duchy of Lorraine, created a world map that, for the first time, included the continental landmasses in the Western Hemisphere, discovered within the 15 previous years. Schwartz brings to life the amazing history of America's 'baptismal certificate'.
