Great Sovereigns, Heroes And Pioneers: Sir Francis Drake, Thomas Cavendish, William Dampier is a historical book written by Christian Isobel Johnstone and published in 1910. The book focuses on the lives and achievements of three prominent English explorers and adventurers: Sir Francis Drake, Thomas Cavendish, and William Dampier. The book begins with a brief overview of the history of English exploration and colonization, and then delves into the lives of the three men. Each chapter is dedicated to one of the explorers, and provides a detailed account of their voyages, discoveries, and accomplishments. Sir Francis Drake was a naval commander and explorer who circumnavigated the globe and played a key role in defeating the Spanish Armada. Thomas Cavendish was another English explorer who also circumnavigated the globe and became the third man to do so after Drake and Ferdinand Magellan. William Dampier was a buccaneer and naturalist who explored the coasts of Australia and New Guinea, and made important contributions to the fields of geography and natural history. The book also explores the political and social context of the time in which these explorers lived, and provides insight into the motivations and challenges they faced. It is a fascinating look into the lives of some of the most influential figures in English exploration and colonialism, and provides a unique perspective on the history of the British Empire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
