Sea of Glory: America's Voyage of Discovery, the U.S. Exploring Expedition, 1838-1842 by Nathaniel Philbrick

4.0

A solid page-turner on a significant but forgotten portion of American naval and scientific history. Philbrick describes the journeys of the Ex. Ex. in such a way that it kept me intrigued to read what they experienced and what challenges they faced next. Even though it was written by an author known for his maritime histories, it was still approachable and enjoyable for those not quite so familiar with the Age of Sail.
