Tony Horwitz: Rediscovering a Lost Century
Everyone knows Columbus sailed the ocean blue in 1492, and Jamestown's 1607 founding is an American history staple, but what about the time in between? Best-selling author and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Tony Horwitz set out on an epic expedition of his own to rediscover the New World of that "lost century." Following in the footsteps of the Europeans who preceded the pilgrims, Horwitz blends history, myth, and misadventure in A Voyage Long and Strange, an accessible, enjoyable travelogue. Journeying from Floridas Fountain of Youth to Plymouth's sacred Rock, Horwitz captures the wonder and drama of first contact as Vikings, conquistadors, and French voyagers roamed an unknown continent in quest of grapes, gold, converts, and even a cure for syphilis.
