(Agnes Christina) 15019252 Pioneers of the Pacific Coast A Chronicle of Sea Rovers and Fur Hunters Produced by Al Haines "Pioneers of the Pacific Coast" by Agnes C. Laut is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the voyages and explorations of significant figures such as Francis Drake and Vitus Bering, focusing on their encounters and the quest for new territories along the Pacific Coast. It highlights the relentless pursuit of wealth, adventure, and knowledge by various explorers, traders, and adventurers who shaped the early encounters of Europe with this vast region. At the start of the narrative, Laut vividly recounts the thrilling tale of Francis Drake's daring foray into the Pacific in his ship, the "Golden Hind", after a confrontation with Spanish forces in the Gulf of Mexico. This opens up a larger exploration of the struggles and triumphs faced by various explorers as they sought riches and glory on the Pacific Coast. The initial chapters detail Drake's audacious raids against Spanish treasure ships, his prayers upon first sighting the Pacific Ocean, and his eventual claim of New Albion for England, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the impacts of European exploration on the indigenous peoples and the geopolitics of the region.
