We read these now in the form of letters home, physical journal entries, fabricated stories by writers employed to puff the reputation of a particular explorer,…

    The sun blazes down on a field that looks like a fresh coating of snow has fallen. Every few feet a black, shiny face, covered in sweat pops up and takes a breath. Among the group of twenty or so slaves is a white face, a face as pale and white as the cotton being picked. Henry Brisimus, the son of the plantation owner, spends his days working the fields like any other slave, he talks like a slave, calls his father "massa" the only time he stops is when his dear mother calls him in for lunch and dinner because Henry feels eating with the slaves would be beneath him. Henry prefers to be called by his slave name, Moses, which he gave to himself. He often talks to the other "field niggas" about following the drinking gourd in the sky north,…

    In 1673, Father Jacques Marquette, a Jesuit missionary, and Louis Joliet, a fur trader, undertook an expedition to explore the unsettled territory in North America from the Great Lakes region to the Gulf of Mexico for the colonial power of France. Leaving with several men in two bark canoes, Marquette and Joliet entered the Mississippi River and arrived in present-day Arkansas in June 1673.

The goal given Marquette, Joliet, and their men was to document, for French and Canadian officials, an area that had been largely unknown until the late seventeenth century.…

    Eleanor Roosevelt once said, "A mature person is one who does not think only in absolutes, who is able to be objective even when deeply stirred emotionally, who has learned that there is both good and bad in all people and all things, and who walks humbly and deals charitably." The tenor of this quote relates to the behavior of a character who posses compassion, despite the hardships he or she may face. The play Cyrano de Bergerac, written by Edmond Rostand, relates to Eleanor Roosevelt's quote dealing with characters whom act modest in the hardest times. Cyrano, Edmond Rostand's main character, acquires this modest trait. Cyrano loves a beautiful woman named Roxane, which is the purest love one could have.…

    The story of European exploration and discovery in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries starts with the international fishing community at Newfoundland, a group of fisherfolk mariners and merchants who swarmed to fish the waters off the Grand Banks and to swap supplies and gossip at St. John’s. The tales traded by these ordinary seamen and traders featured the exploits of “great men”—the Portuguese explorations of the coast of Africa and their charting of a new route to Asia; the efforts of John Cabot to find a northwest passage to the Orient; and, of course, Columbus’s discovery of America.…
