This website is focused on the men who explored the new world, particularly North America. Their persistence and courage in the face of hardship, hunger, and sometimes hostile natives are an interest for many people today. Their fatal blunders and failures are equally important to understanding those expeditions. The blog, Explorer's Tales, gives accounts of exploration expeditions, often with quotes from the explorer's journals. Some entries discuss important outcomes in science and art from the exploration period. Other blogs cover navigation, sailors, early medicine, and food. We also have an exploration bibliography as an ongoing work in progress.
