Jean Fritz brings history to life once again in 10 true tales of 15th-century European explorers from Bartholomew Diaz and Christopher Columbus to Juan Ponce de Leon and Vasco Nunez de Balboa who changed the map and left behind stories of adventure too good to miss. Fritz approaches the salient facts with playful irreverence; accordingly, the frequently traveled material is refreshingly new.
