About this ebook

Explorer! is historical fiction. That is, the dialogue is fictional, but events and many of the people mentioned were real.
Certainly, Walter Wellman was a real person who had vision, determination, and leadership—all traits needed during his attempts to be the first to reach the North Pole. When that goal could no longer be realized, he regrouped his forces and set his sights on being the first to fly across the Atlantic. He conceived this idea right after Beloit, in an aircraft that was little more than a kite with an engine, succeeded in being the first to fly from Calais, France, to Dover, England—a distance of about thirty-five miles.
Explorer follows in the wake of The Ice Age Saga trilogy—The Shaman’s Song, The Sojourner’s Tale, and Crooked Foot. Similarities between The Ice Age trilogy and Explorer! are due to the fact that they are all written as action-adventure stories and are meant to entertain readers of all ages.

The author's fiction works, published under the name Evans Bissonette, are: •The Ice Age Saga trilogy - books in this series include: oThe Shaman’s Song oThe Sojourner’s Tale oCrooked Foot In addition, he has published a historical fiction, •Explorer! The Adventures of Walter Wellman. While works of fiction, these stories are all written as action-adventure stories and are meant to entertain readers of all ages. These are not stories of what was, but more stories of possibilities, of what could have been. In many cases, notes are included to explain unfamiliar terms or expand on descriptions. The author and his wife, both retired, have been married over 45 years. They live in a suburb of Detroit and have three adult children.
