A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New Worldby Tony Horwitz Buy this bookOn a chance visit to Plymouth Rock, Tony Horwitz makes an unsettling discovery. A history buff since early childhood, expensively educated at university—a history major, no less!—he’s reached middle age with a third-grader’s grasp of early America. In fact, he’s mislaid more than a century of American history, the period separating Columbus’s landing in 1492 from the arrival of English colonists at Jamestown in 160-something. Did nothing happen in between? |

Who knew that DeSoto
Who knew that DeSoto travelled through Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama and Arkansas. Or that Coronado travelled up into Kansas. There is so much that occurred in that 120 odd years that doesn't make the history books. Tony Horwitz brings it all back to life in this book.
