1. sir walter raleigh

   Sir Walter Raleigh was a renowned English explorer, philosopher, poet, soldier, and politician during the Elizabethan era. Born around 1552, he played a pivotal role in the English colonization of North America, making several expeditions to the New World to establish settlements and look for gold. Additionally, he was favored by Queen Elizabeth I, which made him influential at the royal court. However, he fell out of favor with her successor, King James I, who imprisoned him and eventually had him executed for treason in 1618. Raleigh is famously remembered for allegedly laying down his cloak over a puddle for Queen Elizabeth and for his exploration journeys, particularly his attempts to establish a colony in Virginia.

1. Sir Walter Raleigh

   Sir Walter Raleigh is an essay by Henry David Thoreau that has been reconstructed from notes he wrote for an 1843 lecture and drafts of an article he was preparing for The Dial. It was first published in 1950, in a collection of Thoreau’s writings edited by Henry Aiken Metcalf. Another version, with significant differences, can be found in Henry D. Thoreau: Early Essays and Miscellanies, edited by Joseph J. Moldenhauer and Edwin Moser, with Alexander C. Kern. Metcalf writes in his introduction that he knew of three drafts of this essay, and he drew on all three of them to construct the version he prepared. He hinted that there may have been an additional fourth draft that had yet to surface. The notes to the Moldenhauer, Moser & Kern version say that Metcalf “misread the holograph at several points, omitted occasional words and phrases, ignored some pencil cancellations, and amplified Thoreau’s text with passages from the working manuscripts and from the Raleigh Works. None of these changes carry authority.”
