The Explorers: A New History of America in Ten Expeditions by Amanda Bellows

adventurous informative inspiring fast-paced

5.0

I really enjoyed this book, which I think showcases a different take on the exploration story. Chapters dedicated to Sacagawea, James Beckwourth, Laura Ingalls Wilder, John Muir, Florence Merriam Bailey, William Sheppard, Harriet Chalmers Adams, Matthew Henson, Amelia Earhart, and Sally Ride. 

Some names and stories I knew, many I didn't, but all told in an interesting and accessible way.
