Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lives and Discoveries of Famous Travellers The facts in the early life of Livingstone, though familiar enough, have an undying interest to the student of biography. In a character which embraced so many simple, sincere, and earnest elements, there is a danger of overlooking his simple, manly greatness. His great-grandfather fell at the battle of Culloden; his grandfather was a small farmer in Ulva, where Neil Livingstone, his father, was born, and his youth was nurtured amongst the traditionary legends of a past age. David Livingstone was born at Blantyre, near Glasgow, in 1813. Livingstone relates that his grandfather could give particulars of the lives of his ancestors for six generations.

Download or read book Heroes of Discovery in America (Classic Reprint) written by Charles Morris and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Heroes of Discovery in America The explorers of this continent were great men in their day, and they have made a great mark on the his tory of the land they made known. For more than four centuries their work has been kept up and it is not yet complete, for there are areas still in America on which the foot of the white man has not been set. From Columbus, who daringly crossed an unknown ocean to discover an unknown continent, to Peary, who in our own day has time and again plunged into the seas of ice in restless quest of the mysterious pole, the list is a long one and is filled with names of valiant and unconquerable men. Heroes of discovery are these in the highest sense, and it is fitting that the story of their deeds should be put upon record. This we have sought to do, in as full a sense as the space at our command permits, endeavoring to omit none of the great discoverers, none of the leaders in this great drama of the opening of a new world. It is hoped that readers will find these tales full of interest and inspira tion and gain from them an adequate sense of what was accomplished in the great work of exploring a continent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of Celebrated Travellers, Vol. 2 of 3 The death Of his father, which took place in 1677, delivered him from theology and the church. He was now entire master of his time; and, in order the more completely to gratify his inclinations, made a tour through the mountains of Dauphiny and Savoy, where he collected a great number of fine plants, which formed the nucleus of his herbarium. This journey increasing instead of gratifying his cu riosity, and probably adding fresh vigour to his naturally robust frame, while it at the same time enhanced his gayety, was merely the prelude to others more adventurous and extensive. In 1769 he set out from Aix for Montpellier, where, besides improving himself in his anatomical and medical studies, he enjoyed all the. Advantages which the rich botanical garden created by Henry IV. Could afford an enlightened botanist. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Heroes of Travel: Or Chapters From the History of Geographical Discovery Enterprise There is no pleasanter mode of learning geo graphy than by studying the works of distinguished travellers; and therefore this little book may claim to possess some slight educational value, while primarily intended to supply the young with attrae tive but not unwholesome reading. The narratives which it contains have been selected with a view to variety of interest. They range over Mexico, Western Australia, Central Africa, and Central Asia. They include the experiences of the hunter, the war correspondent, and the geographical explorer; and, in recognition of the graceful in fluence of women, of a lady traveller, who showed herself as resolute and courageous as any of the so-called hardier sex. And, finally, they have the merit, it is believed, of not having appeared in previous compilations. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lewis Clark: Partners in Discovery Istory offers few opportunities for a joint biography of this sort, in which two men's lives are so closely linked that they can be told as one. Beaumont and Fletcher and the Brothers Goncourt are perhaps the only other examples. The fame which resulted from the Lewis and Clark expedition was so great that it has overshadowed their other achievements and has overshad owed also the length and intimacy of their friendship. It is, therefore, necessary to emphasize the fact that this book is a biography of the two explorers, not merely the story of their explorations, however large the story of the expedition may bulk in any account of their careers.

This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Lives of Celebrated Travellers, Vol. 1 Dr. Southey, speaking of the works of travellers, very justly remarks, that "of such books we cannot have too many!" and adds with equal truth, that "because they contribute to the instruction of the learned, their reputation suffers no diminution by the course of time, but that age rather enhances their value." Every man, indeed, whose comprehensive mind enables him to sympathize with human nature under all its various aspects, and to detect - through the endless disguises superinduced by strange religions, policies, manners, or climate - passions, weaknesses, and virtues akin to his own, must peruse the relations of veracious travellers with peculiar satisfaction and delight. But there is another point of view in which the labours of this class of writers may be contemplated with advantage. Having made use of them as a species of telescope, for bringing remote scenes near our intellectual eye, it may, perhaps, be of considerable utility to observe the effect of so many dissimilar and unusual objects, as necessarily present themselves to travellers, upon the mind, character, and happiness of the individuals who beheld them. This, in fact, is the business of the biographer; and it is what I have endeavoured to perform, to the best of my abilities, in the following "Lives."

Download or read book The World and Its Discovery written by H. B. Wetherill and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World and Its Discovery: A Description of the Continents Outside Europe Based on the Stories of Their Explorers The object of this book is to arouse an interest in stories of discovery and then utilize it in behalf of geography. In so small a compass it has only been possible to deal briefly with a few journeys, but each account can, and in fact should, be supplemented from the original. Farther geographical information should also be added from the text-book in use to which the travel book is intended to give vivid illustration. Stories of exploration, when not so full of incident as to distract from the purpose of class meeting - which is work, not amusement - may be studied in school with advantage for the following reasons: (1) They contain a wealth of geographical information which can easily be memorized, because of the association with a central human figure. (2) They show in many instances, by the contrast between the past and present of a region, the influence of civilized man in modifying natural conditions. (3) They tell of man in the many stages of savagery, barbarism, and civilization. (4) They give the historical details of the spread of world - knowledge. The book is intended for use in lower and middle forms, alongside of the ordinary text-book. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Famous Discoverers and Explorers of America: Their Voyages, Battles, and Hardships in Traversing and Conquering the Unknown Territories of a New World My Dear Boys: It has seemed fitting to include in the Famous Leaders Series this volume upon the discoverers and explorers, not only of North America, but also of Central and South America. It has been impossible to include them all in a volume of this character; but I have selected the most important, and have omitted such men as Sebastian Cabot, Jacques Cartier, Sir Francis Drake, Baffin, Verendrye, Robert Gray, Lewis and Clark, Pike, Franklin, Fremont, and many others. This is no new subject. The lives and histories of these discoverers have been written by many another; but I have endeavored to bring before you a series of pictures of some of the most noted of these men of daring and grim determination, and, if I have succeeded in painting the canvas with colors which are agreeable, then, my dear boys, I shall feel that the moments occupied in the preparation of these pages have been well spent.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great African Travellers: From Mungo Park to Livingstone and StanleyMany of England's sons have earned enduring fame by the explora tion of Africa; indeed, our knowledge of the Continent is mainly due to the enterprise and courage of Englishmen.Passing over the explorations of the earlier travellers in the last and first half of the present century, it was to Livingstone that the stimulus for geographical research is mainly to be attributed. That great man practically taught us all we know of Southern Africa on both banks of the Zambesi, from one side of Africa to the other, and Burton and Speke initiated the discoveries of the more central lacustrine regions, which have culminated in the last journey of Stanley, to whom the author of this volume has dedicated this imperfect record of African travel.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
