Cassell's Tales of Endurance
Fleming, Fergus Publisher: Cassell, Canada Year Published: 2004 Pages: 576pp Resource Type: Book
"The gap we may make in society will be hardly noticed at all" (Richard Lander in his River Niger expedition). This travel anthology charts the exploration of native lands by Peary, Livingston, Burton et al. and some of the lesser known explores such as Lander. Where the book succeeds is with the brief glimpes of those native observers who often noticed that these interlopers would probably bring their own downfall.". Fleming tells us that when "they had a chance they wrote clear, perceptive and sometimes beautiful narratives". This book is travel and exploration as dogged endurance.
