Journalist traces marches and mayhem of pre-Columbian incursions into North America; witty observations ensue.
Good idea already done better in Lost City of Z - author Tony Horowitz visits Plymouth Rock and realizes that a lot happened before the Pligrims and Columbus. He sets off to follow the routes earlier explorers took into what is now the U.S., ties in the Lost Colony of North Carolina, south-west cliff-dweller civilizations and Florida retirees, making slightly sharky observations along the way. Nice read for history buffs and people looking for echos today of what happened long ago.
