DOWNLOAD EBOOKWinner, 2020 J.G. Ragsdale Book Award from the Arkansas Historical Association “I reckon stranger you have not been used much to traveling in the woods,” a hunter remarked to Henry Rowe Schoolcraft as he trekked through the Ozark backcountry in late 1818. The ensuing exchange is one of many compelling encounters between Arkansas travelers and settlers depicted in Arkansas Travelers: Geographies of Exploration and Perception, 1804–1834. This book is the first to integrate the stories of four travelers who explored Arkansas during the transformative period between the Louisiana Purchase of 1803 and statehood in 1836: William Dunbar, Thomas Nuttall, Henry Rowe Schoolcraft, and George William Featherstonhaugh. In addition to gathering their tales of treacherous rivers, drunken scoundrels, and repulsive food, historian and geographer Andrew J. Milson explores the impact such travel narratives have had on geographical understandings of Arkansas places. Using the language in each traveler’s narrative, Milson suggests, and the book includes, new maps that trace these perceptions, illustrating not just the lands traversed, but the way travelers experienced and perceived place. By taking a geographical approach to the history of these spaces, Arkansas Travelers offers a deeper understanding—a deeper map—of Arkansas.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis book examines the nexus between exploring and tourism and argues that exploration travel – based heavily on explorer narratives and the promises of personal challenges and change – is a major trend in future tourism. In particular, it analyses how romanticised myths of explorers form a foundation for how modern day tourists view travel and themselves. Its scope ranges from the 'Golden Age' of imperial explorers in the 19th and early 20th centuries, through the growth of adventure and extreme tourism, to possible future trends including space travel. The volume should appeal to researchers and students across a variety of disciplines, including tourism studies, sociology, geography and history.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAn explorer is a traveler who seeks travel adventures that combine learning and discovery with a touch of wonder. The adventurous traveler values human contact. This book contains stories from travelers who are not just tourists; rather, they are wandering explorers in search of experiences. These travelers are explorers who seek authenticity and discover innovation in each destination. Exploratory travelers look for "hidden gems" in the destinations they visit. Christopher Columbus, James Cook, Vasco da Gama, Hsuan Tsang, Marco Polo, and Ibn Battuta--these are the names of well-known travelers who discovered new countries, continents, and waterways hundreds of years ago with limited resources. They made their dreams come true with their passion by risking their lives on unknown paths. The book describes the adventurous journeys of many such travelers, which are full of adventure and death threats at every step.
