Baron Lahontan's Mysterious Quest: A Reappraisal of the 1688 Long/Platte River Inland Passage ExpeditionIn 1703 the Baron Lahontan (Louis Armand, le Baron de Lahontan et Heslche, a French aristocrat, writer, and explorer who served in the French military in Canada) published New Voyages to North America, which contained an account of his search for an inland passage between New France and the Pacific Ocean in 1688 1689, during which he canoed up the "Long River" (Missouri River) seeking its source.

In 1703 the Baron Lahontan (Louis-Armand, le Baron de Lahontan et Heslèche, a French aristocrat, writer, and explorer who served in the French military in Canada) published New Voyages to North America, which contained an account of his search for an inland passage between New France and the Pacific Ocean in 1688-1689, during which he canoed up the "Long River" (Missouri River) seeking its source. Scholars have almost universally discounted his work as largely fictitious and branded the baron a liar. In this book, a distinguished group of scholars familiar with the central Great Plains and the Platte River exposes the many major flaws in Lahontan's critics' judgements and demonstrates the truthfulness of the baron's journal, including descriptions of Native peoples who had never encountered a European prior to Lahontan. The authors applied anthropology, archaeology, ethnohistory, and physical geography, all supported by French and Spanish documents, to carry out this extensive reexamination of Lahontan's narrative. They believe that the baron should rank among the great explorers of North America.

Runs small
Size: XX-Large, Color: Navy
Definitely go a size up. These run a whole size smaller than designated. Material is also heavier than a regular t-shirt. Quality seems okay

Fits well and comfortable!
Size: Large, Color: Eggshell White Black Mariner Stripe, Size: Large, Color: Eggshell White Black Mariner Stripe
This shirt fits my husband very well, it is true to size. It is soft and stretchy enough to be comfortable. I bought this as part of a costume but my husband wears it around the house now because it's so comfy.

You get what you pay for
Size: XX-Large, Color: Eggshell White Black Mariner Stripe
Like most of the other reviews here, the shirt runs too small and too short. Material was also incredibly uncomfortable. It also wasn't the color I was hoping it would be, but that's on me for not reading the fine print (eggshell white was very much not white) If you're looking at this for a certain costume/cosplay idea, it's probably not what you're looking for.
