Portugal, with Spain following after, led the way for exploration as they headed south. Spain, however, ventured west, driven by a patriotic attitude of expanding past their borders. Levy tells the story of Hernan Cortes, originally setting sail from Spain, as he sailed from Cuba to the shores of Mexico in 1519, eager about the discovery of new lands.

Nuttall publishes his first journals of the accounts written during his first western trip in “The Genera of North American Plants”, and a “Catalogue of the Species” (Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography 2).
