Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:

What must it have been like to be the first to circumnavigate the globe or traverse America from shore to shore? What political, social and financial factors of the day encouraged exploration? What personal dreams and desires drove fearless explorers to search the vast unknown waters and lands, to tempt danger time and time again, all in the name of discovery? This bio combines accessible text, copious illustrations, and supportive sidebars to trace the life, travels, and legacy of Francisco Coronado.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 70-72) and index.

Horn Book Review

The well-researched books in this series will be useful to students writing reports. Maps and archival reproductions in both black and white and color extend the text, but the illustrations aren't always captioned and maps from antiquity aren't always labeled as such. Nevertheless, these are engaging introductions. Each book includes a chronology. Bib., ind. [Review covers these Great Expectations titles: [cf2]Daniel Boone, Robert e. Peary, L Salle, Lewis and Clark, Captain James Cook, Ferdinand Magellan[cf1].] (c) Copyright 2010. The Horn Book, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
