The French explorer Hernando de Soto went to the New World hoping to find the fabled seven cities of gold, as well as a passageway to the Pacific Ocean. What he found instead was the Mississippi River. Like many explorers before and after him, he was disappointed that he could not find what he was seeking, but he left his mark on the land that was to become the United States of America in some interesting ways.De Soto and the River in the Wilderness (Dyslexic Font)

In 1750, Dr. Thomas Walker strode into the wilderness. He was looking for land on which to build a settlement, and he wanted that land to be on the western side of the Blue Ridge Mountains. But first he had to get there. He’d heard of the pass that the Native Americans used, but no one had yet marked it on any maps. Dr. Walker intended to change that. His explorations ultimately disappointed him, but importantly, he had recorded the Cumberland Gap for all who followed.Dr. Thomas Walker Maps the Cumberland Gap

We know about Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine. But we owe nearly as much to Galen, a physician born in 129 A.D. at the height of the Roman Empire. Galen's acute diagnoses of patients, botanical wisdom, and studies of physiology were recorded in numerous books, handed down through the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Not least, Galen passed on the medical tradition of respect for life. In this fascinating biography for young people, Jeanne Bendick brings Galen's Roman world to life with the clarity, humor, and outstanding content we enjoyed in Archimedes and the Door to Science. An excellent addition to the home, school and to libraries. Illustrated by the author.Galen and the Gateway to Medicine
