About this audiobook
In this discussion, author Tony Horwitz talks about his new book, A Voyage Long and Strange: Rediscovering the New World, and how the American continent during 1500s is largely a forgotten time. While most students know about Columbus sailing the ocean blue in 1492 and the Pilgrims landing in 1620, Horwitz tells the NewsHour’s Ray Suarez that the time period between the events, during which international powers fought for control of the Western Hemisphere, is an essential part of history. Horwitz also says he wishes this period of American history was better taught in schools, because the story of Europeans colonizing North and South America is much more exciting and dramatic than the typical narrative taught today.
