Who in the World Was the Forgotten Explorer? The Story of Amerigo Vespucci

by Lorene Lambert
illustrations by Jed Mickle

Hundreds of years ago, the great Italian city of Florence was very dark at night. No streetlamps or billboards cast up their glow. No floodlights shone down on baseball fields. When the sky grew dusky, the streets filled with shadows and the bustling city noises disappeared. The river Arno reflected the stars overhead as it flowed past the lamplit houses.

In a mansion close to the river, a boy named Amerigo leaned out his window, tipping his head back to look at the stars.

Read a review of Who in the World Was the Forgotten Explorer? The Story of Amerigo Vespucci in The Old Schoolhouse magazine.

The Story of Amerigo Vespucci correlates to Chapter 31 of The Story of the World, Volume 2.
