Product Description

Within these pages readers can join the world's most important explorers in their quests for the poles, Terra Australis Incognita, El Dorado, and other remote, exotic places, and can confront the dangers that imperiled their journeys: disease, hunger, mutiny, storms, impenetrable terrain, and hostile natives. From pre-Christianity to the twentieth century, this comprehensive encyclopedia offers vivid portraits of the world's explorers, geographers, chroniclers, and inventors like Alexander the Great, Roald Amundsen, Daniel Boone, Richard F. Burton, Richard E. Byrd, Christopher Columbus, James Cook, Hernan Cortés, Jacques-Yves Cousteau, Matthew Henson, Meriwether Lewis, David Livingstone, Marco Polo, Walter Raleigh, Theodore Roosevelt, and more than 275 others. Each profile details the subject's life, personality, adventures, achievements, and the controversies, if any, surrounding the discovery. Here is Giovanni da Verrazano, devoured by West Indian cannibals; Heinrich Barth, driven by thirst to drink his own blood during his 1850 trek across the Sahara; Robert F. Scott, writing his final journal entries as he freezes to death in the South Pole; and many more. With more than 200 illustrations and maps, indices by nationality and by geographic areas of exploration, and an extensive glossary and bibliography, World Explorers and Discoverers offers armchair adventurers an unparalleled voyage.

5-0 out of 5 stars A very exciting story of a great African-American
I bought this book because I loved the same author's biography of Benjamin Banneker.But this book is even better!!I was thrilled to read of the success of an African-American farmer like Banneker, helping create Washington, DC and corresponding with Thomas Jefferson.But Matt Henson was truly an American hero-- not just a helper.I am recommending this really exciting story to every young man and woman I know, and to their parents and grandparents. The book is a great "read", and Matt Henson was a really smart and brave man who just happened to be an African-American. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Daniel Boone
One of many books about Boone.This one lacks the substance of many others.The best is that by Lyman Draper.Second is that by Nathan Boone.The book by John Bakeless is a very good earlier study, and covers all the ground well.I suggest this book for younger people, but scholars will want to look elsewhere.

3-0 out of 5 stars Watch out for errors!
My initial perusal of this book picked up the following rather blatant mistakes:
Back Cover: "Wearing a cap made from raccoon skin . . ." (In real life, Daniel Boone never wore a coonskin cap.)
Page 13: The homestead is comprised of 250 acres, not 25.
Page 17: Fort Necessity is NOT located "at the site where the Allegheny and Monongahela Rivers merge to form the Ohio." That's where Fort Duquesne, later Fort Pitt, stood. Fort Necessity is 50 miles to the southeast.
Page 19: The caption identifies Boone's rifle as "Lick-Ticker." Try "Tick Licker."
Page 47: Two, not three, of Boone's children were killed.
