A fascinating account of the world's famous explorers, including
the early travelers in ancient times, the discovery of the New
World, explorations in Africa and Australia, and the expeditions to
the Arctic and Antarctic. Many of the explorers tell part of their
story in their own words. Amply illustrated with reproductions of
early maps and charts, as well as old woodcuts, drawings,
paintings, and miniatures. Emphasis is placed on the explorers'
"record of splendid endurance, of hardships bravely borne, of
silent toil, of courage and resolution unequalled in the annals of
mankind, of self-sacrifice unrivalled and faithful lives laid
ungrudgingly down." Suitable for ages 12 and up.
This book is part of the TREDITION CLASSICS series. The creators of
this series are united by passion for literature and driven by the
intention of making all public domain books available in printed
format again - worldwide. At tredition we believe that a great book
never goes out of style. Several mostly non-profit literature
projects provide content to tredition. To support their good work,
tredition donates a portion of the proceeds from each sold copy. As
a reader of a TREDITION CLASSICS book, you support our mission to
save many of the amazing works of world literature from oblivion.
