A Voyage Long and Strange: On the Trail of Vikings, Conquistadors, Lost Colonists, and Other Adventurers in Early America - Extreemblog action + adventure hunters! book preview

Do you know what actually happened between Columbus’s discovery of America in 14920 and the Pilgrims’ immigration in 1620 on that very continent?

Neither did me or the author, Tony Horwitz, when paying a visit to famous Plymouth Rock. He realized he didn’t have any clue just as any other average American.

So he set off across the continent to rediscover the wild era of Europeans roaming the New World in search for gold, glory, youth, peace and… of course Adventures!

Horwitz tells the story of many brave, yet crazied explorers while retracing their steps on the treck.

The 464-page book will transport you from conquistadors’ sunny Florida to an Indian lodge in subarctic Canada in moments.
First chapter will help you bring back the early history of America, even if you’re from the different part of the globe… or not.  : )

“Wonderfully written, and heroically researched…Horwitz unearths whole chapters of American history that have been ignored.”–The Boston Globe
