• A voyage long & strange
  Having just read " Cities of Gold " which covered in great details the spanish exploration in the Southwest U.S., I enjoyed reading more about East Coast Voyages of discovery. The author uses an easy and often humorous way of describing the events. In short it is an easy to read and informative bookA Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World

• journey long and strange
  
  great research and well written. Our children should be doing this history reviews, if not through this book then through other text books. It is time to change our view of North American History.

• Review of "A Voyage Long and Strange"
  I have been a fan of Mr. Horwitz ever since "Confederates in the Attic". He brings a human element to history, and has a wonderful ability to make an otherwise droll subject in a lesser author's hands, come to life. In this book he shares insights on a part of American history that gets little attention, unless you go looking for it. I enjoyed it very much.

• Lots of information I had never heard
  This is a really good audio book for folks that have an interest in history, especially early North American History.
  The Conquistadors were the savages, not the naturals.
  And I still prefer Turkey even if the first Thanksgiving wasn't in Plymouth!
