The author has been deciphering The World Encompassed by Francis Drake journal of his circumnavigation for 16 years, and Native culture and languages for more than 26 years. What has been uncovered is the complete story where everything fits when compared to the Nehalem Bay, Oregon. Francis Drake in Nehalem Bay 1579, Setting the History Record Straight (R2011) exposes the use of conjecture and falsified material time after time which identifed the fictious Drake landing in California. Along with the 16th century cartography, geography, topography, flora & fauna, Native language, and the meaning to the 16th century Monarch’s private seal on a map identifying Nova Albion on the Pacific Northwest coast. All comparisons position Nehalem Bay, Oregon as Drake’s summer anchorage of 1579, well above any of the other theorized contenders. After the years of examining the theorized 17 landing sites, there is no other choice of Drake’s anchorage when you compare that with the voyage journal. All without using horrible misinformation promoting of a fake plate and the fake Native tribe language that the California crowd has been peddling for generations. This article is a true "think pieces" relating to the successful teaching of California history. From educators and future educators exposed to the truth, at all levels of instruction, from elementary and secondary school, to training undergraduates and graduate students for which I have developed a history class with more than 21 handouts for them to think like true historians--critically and without bias.

Its 2 volume Hakluyt Handbook is a comprehensive guide, first proposed by Dr. R. A. Skelton and Professor D. B. Quinn, consisting of materials and the sources of Richard Hakluyt’s nearly 300 volumes of primary records regarding the Age of Discovery voyages, travels and other geographical material. In the early 1960’s the Council of the Society set up a committee to work on the project and began enlisting contributors for the guide. After years of hard work by its members, The Hakluyt Handbook was completed and finally published in 1974. The Handbook Preface by C. F. Beckingham, Hakluyt Society President, stated that there had never been a comprehensive study of Rickard Hakluyt’s works along with the background of his sources. Beckingham’s hope was that the correlation between overlapping disciplines of the handbook be used by various scholars would give rise to further study. This is one such study.

Letting all who pass know that a European Christian was here and claimed these lands. This report was compiled from meetings conveyed to the author over a period of years by Wayne Jensen’s steps leading up to how he and Donald Viles made their discovery; the survey’s subsequent verification by Robert J. Schultz, A.S.C.E. and Phil Costaggini’s Oregon State University Master’s thesis Survey of Artifacts at Neahkahnie Mountain Oregon, and how symbols incised on the survey markers was ultimately deciphered.
The Cosaggini survey used 3 closed loops with one of the loops tied into a higher order of survey... more The Cosaggini survey used 3 closed loops with one of the loops tied into a higher order of survey accurcy based on the US Geological Survey. Loop 1 had 32 stations or places where mesasurment from one point to the next point was measured. Loop 2 had 28 sations a dn Loop 3 had 14 stations with one point tied inot the US Geological Survey point. All three loops were completed on to each of their starting points. And each loop contained at least one station that was included in to each of the other's loop points. The Neahkahnie survey provided 2 independent checks; i.e. closed loops and a tie with a higher order stations and errors of redundant measuremnts. Although the thesis if filled with many academicarian mathimatics to demonstate compentency on behalf of the presenter, the field measurements are invalauble. The Costaggini 32-page shortened thesis doesn't repeat any of the in-depth comments about the magnetic declination of the cairns and markers in his 1985 thesis of 185-pages. He states there " Essentially, …there are 5 collinear points, reposing at an angle nearly equal to the magnetic declination from true north. " " If a magnetic north-south line was intended to be laid out, this line would be a suitable expression of this intent. " Costaggini mentions Drake standing on the south mound NK E and sighting the north mount NK-A which signifies a line of sight up or down the mountain. Neahkahnie Mountain was periodically by the natives for hunting and gathering purposes. He goes into a discussion of NK E and NK A being the only cairns on the mountain therefore it was natural to establish the baseline between those 2 points. That baseline is less than 2 degrees off of today's magnetic declination of true north. He offers a " Second collateral proof may be obtained from the triangulation problem of William Bourne; a contemporary surveyor of Drake's. He refers to figure 22 a sketch of Bourne's 1578 survey in which " Kogon Hill to the West Elbery Church is a base line, running N-W direction. The scale of Bourne's base line equals 4,800 feet while the Neahkahnie base line measures 4,837 feet. He goes on to develop a baseline hypothesis with computations of the series of triangles east of the baseline being topography and/or area survey. The NK L, the Center Rock Station) is an important point and " might possibly have been a point for a radial survey. This type of survey, in which the instrument is placed in a key position inter-visible with most or all of the outstanding ground surface, is excellent for topographical studies. NK L is physically near the center of the survey area; the grooved lines on the rock are arranged like spokes on a wheel. " He then goes on to say all grooved stones and angles were included in the traverse loops of his survey and their comparisons between the True Azimuth from North and the Ray Azimuth from North. Based on early explorers using low precision instruments (for land based work), the data pointed " a fair to good conformity of ray to azimuth " of one or two degrees.
