Here’s a great website for primary sources about the exploration of North America:
http://www.americanjourneys.org
This is some of what they say about themselves:
American Journeys contains more than 18,000 pages of eyewitness
accounts of North American exploration, from the sagas of Vikings in
Canada in AD1000 to the diaries of mountain men in the Rockies 800
years later.Read the words of explorers, Indians, missionaries, traders and
settlers as they lived through the founding moments of American
history. View, search, print, or download
more than 150 rare books, original manuscripts, and classic travel
narratives from the library and archives of the Wisconsin Historical
Society.
Enjoy!
