Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from Famous Voyagers and Explorers In this volume, for the most part, those explorers have been chosen whose labors have been connected with North America. Columbus naturally comes first. Marco Polo´s book doubtless influenced Columbus in his search for the route to India and Cathay. Magellan was the first to circumnavigate the globe. Sir Walter Raleigh, believing in the future of America, tried in vain to establish an English colony in the new world. Sir John Franklin, with many hardships, closed his pathetic and noble life in exploring our northern latitudes. The search for the North Pole has all the interest of a romance in the experience of Kane, Hall, Greely, Lockwood, and others. David Livingstone reveals much of Africa, and furnishes an example of true manhood and heroic purpose. Perry opened Japan to the world. Suffering and privation were the lot of most of these men, but by their courage and perseverance they overcame great difficulties and accomplished important results for the benefit of mankind.
