This document collection introduces students to the experiences of Europeans encountering North America for the first time, told through their original narratives. Students will engage with a wide range of primary sources, constructing an argument based on the central question: How did confusion about climate and geography as well as extreme weather during the "Little Ice Age" challenge Spanish, French, and English expeditions to America? What can (or cant) these experiences teach us about the challenges of climate change?Authors
