In English, we read a story entitled The Man Who Named America It is about Martin Waldseemüller who was a cartographer that named America after he made the map. We talked about the author's purpose which was to inform! He definitely did a great job of that. The map has been referred to in various circles as America's birth certificate and for good reason; it is the first document on which the name "America" appears. It is also the first map to depict a separate and full Western Hemisphere and the first map to represent the Pacific Ocean as a separate body of water. The purchase of the map concluded a nearly century-long effort to secure for the Library of Congress that very special cartographic document which revealed new European thinking about the world nearly 500 years ago.
