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

2.0

Usually I love books about sailing and exploration, but this one was boring. I never really got a sense of excitement or any thrill while reading it. I kept thinking that sometime it would get really interesting, and it never it. When I picked it up I thought the book was about the expedition and what was discovered, but really it was about the man who led the expedition, Wilkes, and how he treated his crew. I would not recommend reading it.
