5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific read about America's great explorers across history

"The Explorers" is a delightful read through many untold stories of America's trailblazers and captures the spirt of adventure they each shared. The ten expeditions highlighted in the book show the different frontiers we have conquered, across land, sea, and outer space.

The book is well written and accessible. Its chapter structure, with one per expedition/explorer, also made it great for reading in convenient chunks. Highly recommend!

“The Explorers” is a captivating book about America’s great explorers that prominently features women and minorities. Each story is well researched and provides enough detail for the reader to feel as if they are experiencing history through a new lens. The book is very well written and fun to pick up and learn about each individual explorer. I highly recommend! It was a great early summer read!
