America is a country of great journeys. It's been that way for thousands of years, ever since the first immigrants - the Indians - crossed over from Asia and began hunting the mammoths and mastodons that still roamed our huge land. Then, beginning with the days of Columbus, other people came to American to stay. For more than four centuries, especially adventurous men have made journeys of exploration all over America. Others have followed, traveling to places discovered by the explorers. This book tells about osme of the important journeys that have helped make American history. Although each one has its own separate story, they are all really about Americans' search for land, or liberty, or both.--
