Vespucci Letters

Vespucci Letters refer to a series of written accounts by explorer Amerigo Vespucci, describing his voyages to the New World in the late 15th and early 16th centuries. These letters detail his observations of unfamiliar lands, indigenous peoples, and new territories, providing valuable insights into the geography and cultures of the Americas. They contributed to European understanding of the continents, leading to the naming of the continent 'America' after Vespucci. While some letters' authenticity is debated, they remain significant historical documents that helped map and conceptualize the Americas during the Age of Exploration.
