Hardback. Condizione: Good. Thomas Jefferson has inspired countless books that explore his brilliant career, his political philosophy, and his extraordinary accomplishments as a gifted leader. Endlessly inquisitive, he was both a tireless writer and one of the most cosmopolitan men of his age. Yet this collection of Jefferson's reflections on his wide-ranging travels reveals a new side of the man. Eloquent and powerful, Thomas Jefferson's letters and travel diaries from his years abroad as the U.S. minister to France spill onto the pages of this volume in wonderful detail, covering the full range of his interests and passions. Editor Anthony Brandt has sifted through the myriad of writings from this rich period of Jefferson's career to present not only the politician and diplomat but Thomas Jefferson the lover, the father, the farmer, the architect, the man about town, the scientist, the visionary. Jefferson emerges at the end a fully dimensional man, with all his virtues, his flaws, and his extraordinary brilliance fleshed out, standing vividly before us. Thomas Jefferson formulated many of America's highest ideals. Here we see the man himself, and glimpse the world through his eyes.…

Paperback. Condizione: Good. Explorer. Adventurer. Naturalist. Hunter. Historian. Colonel. Conservationist. You cannot sum Theodore Roosevelt up, writes Anthony Brandt in the introduction to this treasure of adventure tales of the twenty-sixth president of the United States, you can only stand in awe of him. From capturing cattle thieves in the American West to charging San Juan Hill to tracking lions in Africa, Theodore Roosevelt's thirst for adventure races through each of the selections in this marvelous narrative history, shedding light on a sickly boy who embraced the strenuous life wholeheartedly and became a legendary outdoorsman. Arranged chronologically, these accounts of Roosevelt's adventures trace the rise of one of the most unforgettable characters in our nation's history from his days as a cattle rancher in Montana to governor of New York to the White House and beyond. Among his many talents, Theodore Roosevelt was a gifted storyteller, and the selections in this book brilliantly showcase his most vivid writing.

Condizione: Good. After the triumphant end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, the British took it upon themselves to complete something they had been trying to do since the sixteenth century: find the fabled Northwest Passage. For the next thirty-five years the British Admiralty sent out expedition after expedition to probe the ice-bound waters of the Canadian Arctic in search of a route, and then, after 1845, to find Sir John Franklin, the Royal Navy hero who led the last of these Admiralty expeditions. Enthralling and often harrowing, The Man Who Ate His Boots captures the glory and the folly of this ultimately tragic enterprise.…
