pickOnce again I am conflicted as to how to rate this. I think the beginning of this could have benefitted from better organization. There was a lot of information thrown out, out there that eventually started to make sense, is my only real issue.
I am always fascinated by “exploration“ type books even if a lot of them are motivated by greed and colonialism. There is still so much merit there.

pickModern explorers do exist, especially in Canada's vast and unforgiving wilderness. We follow Shoalts as he seeks out an uncharted waterway. I've seen reviews complaining that the author comes off as vain and egotistical, but I didn't really get that from the audio. I think every explorer in history has to be vain to some degree, to even attempt their exploits. I do wish I had read a physical copy tho, as I assume it would include photos & maps.
pickLoaded with several humorous visual details, a fantastic #gazingbook. A definite reread for details.
“This movement, or migration, of people continued very slowly over thousands of years. New groups moved across from Asia, and earlier arrivals moved farther into the new land. Gradually people spread throughout what are now Canada, the United States, Mexico, Central and South America.“
This book features lots of maps to help visualize the journeys taken to the Americas.
A part of me knows better, but a part of me hopes there is still a surviving ancient civilization that does its best to stay hidden to protect its peace. Something that is not meant for contemporary eyes to see. 1w
