A Voyage Long and Strange : On the Trail of Vikings, Conquistadors, Lost Colonists, and Other Adventures in Early America

by Tony Horwitz

Picador 2009

 

An irresistible blend of history, myth, and misadventure, A Voyage Long and Strange captures the wonder and drama of first contact. Vikings, conquistadors, French voyageurs--these and many others roamed an unknown continent in quest of grapes, gold, converts, even a cure for syphilis. Though most failed, their remarkable exploits left an enduring mark on the land and people encountered by late-arriving English settlers.--From publisher description.
