Drake The Man, However, Is An Enigma And Relatively Little Is Known About His Personal Life. Historians Today Have Struggled To Reconcile The Heroic Legend With The Facts, Which Show That Drake Achieved His Status Almost Exclusively Through Acts Of Theft, Piracy, And Aggression.Drake, Who Championed England'S Protestant Queen, Used Courage And Seamanship To Gain Wealth And Fame, And In Doing So Helped Establish England'S Maritime Empire. Yet, After His Armada Success, The Accomplished Lone Privateer Rarely Functioned Effectively As Part Of A Larger Force, And He Fell From Royal Favor, Ending His Days Feeling Cursed.In This New Biography, Peter Whitfield, A Leading Expert In Exploration And Map History, Examines This Dilemma To Shed Light On Drake The Man And The Legend. Illustrated Throughout With Original Documents, Maps And Portraits, This Biography Offers An Accessible And Highly Readable Account Of One Of The Greatest Explorers Of All Time.
