A voyage long and strange : rediscovering the new world Cover Image Book

A voyage long and strange : rediscovering the new world / Tony Horwitz.

Horwitz, Tony, 1958-2019 (author.).

Summary:

An irresistible blend of history, myth, and misadventure, A Voyage Long and Strange captures the wonder and drama of first contact. Vikings, conquistadors, French voyageurs--these and many others roamed an unknown continent in quest of grapes, gold, converts, even a cure for syphilis. Though most failed, their remarkable exploits left an enduring mark on the land and people encountered by late-arriving English settlers.--From publisher description.
