Description
What was it like to be the first to circumnavigate the globe or cross America from shore to shore? What political, social, and financial factors of the day encouraged exploration? What personal dreams and desires drove these fearless men to search the vast unknown waters and lands, to tempt danger time and time again, all in the name of discovery? In Great Explorations, acclaimed authors including the award-winning James Lincoln Collier guide us through the adventures of the indomitable explorers who know first-hand the joys and sorrows of pioneering.
