Stories of adventure, as told by adventurers
Edward Everett Hale compiled Stories of Adventure, As Told by Adventurers for young readers, with the stated aim of leading them from these extracts to the full books waiting in their public libraries. Each section introduces a traveler and lets him speak in his own words: Marco Polo at the court of the Great Khan, the tales of Sir John Mandeville, Bertrandon de la Brocquière in Palestine, Geoffrey of Vinsauf on crusade, Hernando Cortés in his letters from Mexico, Fra Marco and Coronado in the American Southwest, Father Jogues in the Jesuit Relations, and Humboldt among electric eels, jaguars and crocodiles in South America. Hale's brief introductions set the scene and then step aside. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
