EXTRA 65. Walter Raleigh's City of Gold

One of the most notable figures of the Elizabethan era, Sir Walter Raleigh (1552-1618) played a leading part in English colonization of America and helped defend England against the Spanish Armada. He was an English statesman, author, soldier, explorer, and a favorite courtier of England\'s Tudor Queen, Elizabeth the First. He was the younger half-brother of American explorer Sir Humphrey Gilbert and a cousin of adventurer Sir Richard Grenville. In 1594, Raleigh heard of a \"City of Gold\" in the New World and sailed across the Atlantic Ocean to find it, publishing an account of his experiences in a book that contributed to the legend of \"El Dorado\". In 1595, Raleigh’s quest for the New World’s fabled ‘City of Gold’ led him on an exciting adventure in search of the legendary and mythical golden city of El Dorado.
