good read

Overall good read but altogether much too short. left me wanting to explore more of the explorer! So much more to know. Maybe records are hard to come by.

Awesome

Short and digestible nugget of historical wisdom. Chapter 7 was really cool. Definitely gonna reread it again at some point. Very therapeutic to listen to.

Partially True

Although intrigued, much of the startling facts are the facts that were left out! A decent read but this manuscript begs for further study!
