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

3.0

Interesting history of a significant expedition that I never learned about in school. Wilkes is quite a character; my feelings on him ranged between pity, disgust, and admiration throughout the narrative (though I'd probably feel differently if I was one of the men getting flogged).
