This book makes a great change from classical Latin. It starts with Columbus' discovery of the New World and continues up to the American Revolution, although this edition stops at the birth of Washington. Some may find the narrative too eurocentric but it should be remembered how old the book is. Nutting also wrote the more popular Ad Alpes.

This extract is from the story of Pocahontas:

Prope coloniam, quam Britanni in Virginiam deduxerant, habitabat quidam rex Indus, cui erat filia pulchra. Puella, quae Pocahonta appellabatur, colonos amavit, olimque servaverat eum ducem, de quo supra multa dixi; nam traditum est, cum ille ab Indis captus esset, hostesque eum interficere vellent, regis filiam suum corpus interposuisse. Id tamen multi credunt numquam esse factum, Fabrumque postea mentitum esse. Sed frumento certe et carne Pocahonta colonos saepe iuvit, et quondam ad oppidum nuntium misit, cum hostes oppidanos occidere pararent.
