(4) 4-6 After detailed accounts of pre-Lewis and Clark expeditions, Jones reports on explorers in four more periods of discovery through the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. There's a wealth of fascinating history, however, there are too many dates and explanations; places are not always clearly marked on maps; and the similarity of the hardships becomes repetitive. Well-captioned period illustrations and endnotes are included. Timeline. Bib., ind.
