The Atlas of North American Exploration: From the Norse Voyages to the Race to the Pole Review
Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This atlas serves a real need for any serious student of North American history. The alternative is to chase down many sources that have individualized map information for individual explorers.
In some cases, however, the colors are difficult to actually discern. There is so many route information, with so many colors that are similar, that it is difficult to distinguish one route from another.
Also, a stated map scale of both miles and kilometers for each map would be helpful.
Otherwise great! -- in my opinion.
Why is the atlas no longer in print, at least at present?
Are the authors planning a revised copy?
I'd like the authors to know about this, and receive a big pat on the back from this old history student and high school history teacher.
