"Popular history of the most accessible sort . . . Unlike many other, less journalistic histories, in which the material is displayed at a curator's remove, it has the immense value of injecting the past into the present-showing us history as an element of contemporary life, something that still surrounds us and presses in on us, whether we know it or not."-The New York Times Book Review "Disturbing, honest, wonderfully written, and heroically researched . . .

Rich with reading pleasure."-- The Christian Science Monitor    , "Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Horwitz has presented what could be described as a guide for those who are historically ignorant of the "lost century" between the first voyage of Columbus and the establishment of Jamestown in 1607. In this informative, whimsical, and thoroughly enjoyable account, Horwitz describes the exploits of various explorers and conquistadores and enriches the stories with his own experiences when visiting some of the lands they "discovered." Horwitz writes in a breezy, engaging style, so this combination of popular history and travelogue will be ideal for general readers." -- Booklist (starred review) "Irreverent, effervescent... accessible to all ages, hands-on and immensely readable, this book invites readers to search out America 's story for themselves." -- Kirkus Reviews "This readable and vastly entertaining history travelogue is highly recommended." -- Library Journal (starred review) "Funny and lively...popular history of the most accessible sort. The stories [Horwitz] tells are full of vivid characters and wild detail." -- The New York Times Book Review "A romp through the sixteenth century....

A fascinating story, filled with adventure, Vikings, French voyageurs and those Pilgrims." -- The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel "Horwitz is a very funny writer." -- Bloomberg News "A winning and eye-opening read.... Horwitz's charm, smarts, impeccable research and curiosity make this a voyage worth taking." -- The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) "By conveying our past so heartily, handsomely and winsomely, Tony Horwitz does America proud." -- The Providence Journal, "Wonderfully written, and heroically researched...Horwitz unearths whole chapters of American history that have been ignored." -- The Boston Globe "Poignant and hilarious . . .

Synopsis
A Voyage Long and Strange is a rich mixture of scholarship and modern-day adventure that brings the forgotten first chapter of America's history vividly to life. What happened in North America between Columbus's sail in 1492 and the Pilgrims' arrival in 1620? On a visit to Plymouth Rock, Tony Horwitz realizes he doesn't have a clue, nor do most Americans. So he sets off across the continent to rediscover the wild era when Europeans first roamed the New World in quest of gold, glory, converts, and eternal youth. Horwitz tells the story of these brave and often crazed explorers while retracing their steps on his own epic trek--an odyssey that takes him inside an Indian sweat lodge in subarctic Canada, down the Mississippi in a canoe, on a road trip fueled by buffalo meat, and into sixty pounds of armor as a conquistador reenactor in Florida.

    Truth In History but reads like a novel!

    My long-time favorite history book ever! This is my second copy. I learned more accurate non-sanitized history through this book than I ever learned K-12. Completely accurate, reads like a novel, and even humorous. 10/10 - highly recommend to anyone!!!
