Explorers And Travellers Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from Labrary for Young People: Travellers and Explorers With an Introduction Travellers and Explorers; how important a part they have played in history! How much the world owes to them! How the story of their struggles and achievements has served as an incentive to others in widely different fields! Travellers and explorers how the blood of every live boy, and many man as well, thrills at the words! What an army of exciting incidents, far-reaching deed, wild adventures, and strange scenes, rise to memory; with perhaps the name of one semi-deified hero of our youthful imagination dominating all. From the frozen seas and protruding ribs of mother earth, gaunt with the cold and starvation of centuries in the north; to the langourous oceans and soft glowing lands of the south: from valley depths below sea level, to peaks that climb skyward where only birds breathe the thin air; the traveller and explorer runs the whole glorious gamut.
