The First English Explorer
Author: Kit Mayers
Publisher: Troubador Publishing Ltd
ISBN: 1785892282
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
The first real explorer, for the English, was Anthony Jenkinson. He sailed to Russia and set out into the unknown to discover an overland route, right across Asia. His detailed reports and his map were a revelation for the Tudors. In 1557 Anthony Jenkinson was sent by the merchants of London to try to find an overland route right across Asia to Cathay and the riches of the Orient, setting off a year before Queen Elizabeth I came to the throne. His expedition to the east took place some twenty nine years earlier than the first English expedition to the west. As well as surviving storms, Jenkinson was faced with thieving, illness and several attacks by bandits, before eventually, by sheer persistence, reaching Bokhara, which is now in Uzbekistan. He had completed two thirds of the journey and had reached the ‘Silk Road’ that led to Cambaluc (Beijing), before finding that he could go no further because the route ahead was closed by continuous wars. In later expeditions, he travelled to Persia where he nearly had his head cut off and he also went to Moscow where he managed some extremely tense negotiations with Tsar Ivan the Terrible on behalf of the Muscovy Company. His reports back to the Company in London give us a great insight into what Russia was like at the time, and Tartary and Persia. ‘This book is a lively and carefully researched study of Anthony Jenkinson,’ – Sir Ranulph Fiennes, Bt, OBE ‘This important book fills an undoubted gap in the history of English travellers in the sixteenth century,’ – Professor David Loades, FSA, Emeritus Professor of History at the University of Wales The First English Explorer will appeal to fans of history, particularly those with a strong interest in explorers and eastern travel.

Languages : en
Pages : 219
Book Description
Todd Nelson, a retired educator, builds upon the success of his critically acclaimed debut essay collection, Cold Spelll. In this new compilation, Nelson delves into his Maine experiences, weaving together a series of concise essays. Unlike the traditional focus on specific locations, these essays center around the art of observation. While readers will recognize the Maine setting, the precise locales remain intentionally elusive. The Land Between the Rivers invites readers to explore the act of seeing, fostering a deeper connection with place, language, and storytelling. It encourages us to peer beyond mere appearances and engage in the realm of imagination.
