A Long and Dangerous Road: a History of Early American Conquest

About This Novel

What happened on the North American continent in the 128 years between Columbus's first voyage in 1492 and the Pilgrims' landing in 1620? While visiting Plymouth Rock, considered by Americans to be "the beginning of it all," Tony Horwitz realizes that he has no clue about this history-nor do most Americans. So he sets out across the continent to rediscover the feverish days when Europeans first came here in search of gold, glory, conversion and youth. Horwitz traces the stories of these brave and frenzied explorers on their epic trek-"The Long Way" is a vivid blend of academic research and modern adventure that brings into view the first forgotten chapters of America's history...
