notes:

Francis Drake anchored in what is believed to be present-day San Francisco, California, in June 1579. He and his party found native Americans living in log huts which were pointed at the top and had earth piled around. Inside the inhabitants sat on straw around a fire. When the English landed, the chief of the natives gave a speech to the English and presented Drake with a crown. From this action the English named the land, New Albion, and misguidedly believed that the ceremony gave the land to them. This work contains relations of six different voyages: three by Sir Francis Drake, one circumnavigation by Thomas Cavendish (or Candish), and two by Sir Walter Raleigh to Guiana. An account of Drake's first voyage, written by Niño de Sylva, had not previously been published. The account of Drake's second voyage is based upon the account of the circumnavigation by Thomas Cates. Drake's third voyage is derived from his logbook of the expedition against the Spanish in Panama. Cavendish's voyage appears to have been based upon a manuscript account written by Thomas Pretty who accompanied Cavendish. Raleigh's first voyage was published by himself in 1597; the second voyage, attributed to Raleigh, may have actually been made by Laurent Keymis, a companion on Raleigh's voyage of 1595.
