Title: Stick with Morison--The Master on This Subject
Review: I was not thrilled with this book at all. I enjoy reading books about early explorers, and I guess I expect others to live up to the standards of my favorite author on this subject, Samuel Eliot Morison, the late historian from Harvard University. As others have stated, minor figures are given too much coverage causing me to lose interest. Ferdinand Magellan was given too little coverage for his achievements. If you want to read about Columbus and others from this time period stick with "The European Discovery of America: The Northern Voyages" and "The European Discovery of America: The Southern Voyages" by Morison. They are riveting reading at their best.
