This book will change how you look at European exploration and at how advanced some civilizations in the past were. Every chapter left me wondering what other piece of information I'd been taught would be flying out the window. If history is your thing, you've got to read this.

Young man trying to find himself travels around the U.S., with Alaska being his final destination, literally. Very interesting reading, saw story on news several years ago, and wanted to read.
