| Summary | "Great Events in the History of North and South America" by Charles A. Goodrich is a historical account written in the mid-19th century. It chronicles significant events in American history, from the alleged discovery of the continent by the Northmen in the 10th century up to the author's time. The focus is on key moments and figures that have shaped the Americas, exploring themes of exploration, colonization, and the interplay of various cultures. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of America's past. It begins with a preface outlining the author's methodology of selection, emphasizing the importance of great events in history as focal points that enhance understanding of the past. Goodrich introduces the key players and pivotal moments, noting the competing claims of early explorers, such as the Northmen and Christopher Columbus, in their quests to discover new lands. The initial chapters delve into these early discoveries and the establishment of settlements, establishing a narrative that highlights both the triumphs and tragedies of America's historical journey.
