A Voyage Long and Strange is a rich mixture of scholarship and modern-day adventure that brings the forgotten first chapter of America's history vividly to life.

What happened in North America between Columbus's sail in 1492 and the Pilgrims' arrival in 1620?

On a visit to Plymouth Rock, Tony Horwitz realizes he doesn't have a clue, nor do most Americans. So he sets off across the continent to rediscover the wild era when Europeans first roamed the New World in quest of gold, glory, converts, and eternal youth. Horwitz tells the story of these brave and often crazed explorers while retracing their steps on his own epic trek--an odyssey that takes him inside an Indian sweat lodge in subarctic Canada, down the Mississippi in a canoe, on a road trip fueled by buffalo meat, and into sixty pounds of armor as a conquistador reenactor in Florida.

Great light, great price!
Color: White, Color: White
I'm a Carnivore who does all of my meat and fish cooking outdoors, adjacent to my kitchen. For the winter, I've put up a half-umbrella to keep the rain off of my cooktop. This light rounds out the kitchen by providing GREAT light for my alfresco kitchen. It works like a charm and is easy on the batteries.. I LOVE it!

Good price, easy to install
Color: Warm
First, the price is right. It is easy to install. My biggest problem was within a few hours, one of the bulbs already burned out. We are still using it and the rest work great.

Great Invention
Color: White, Color: White
So simple to install and we absolutely love having this light on our patio table. You can adjust this light anywhere on the pole and direct the lights to shine up or down depending on your preference. It also has three settings. It is well made and runs on 4 AA batteries. This is a great invention and several people that have seen this light have ordered one for their own patio tables.

Bright, easy to use
Color: White
Love that you have different light settings. Perfect lighting. Fit easy and perfect. Only downfall is you need 4 batteries. Not had it long enough to know how long it will last. Would buy again.
