The road to Baghdad ran north through heat, marsh, dust and the winding course of the Tigris.

Ernest Thompson Seton

Two Little Savages (Illustrated)

Yan can spend hours at a taxidermist's window, longing to know the names of the birds. Give him a patch of woods, a friend like Sam, and the old woodsman Caleb, and that hunger becomes a life: a teepee to raise, tracks to read, a bow to make, a camp to keep going.

Robert Montgomery Bird

Nick of the Woods (Illustrated)

KENTUCKY, 1782. THE DARK AND BLOODY GROUND. In the East, the war for American independence is nearly won. Beyond the mountains, it has merely changed its shape. Kentucky is not yet a state.

ANTHRACITE

Robert Montgomery Bird

The Hawks of Hawk-Hollow

A mysterious stranger and the outlaw reputation of the Hawks turn a quiet valley into a place where every allegiance has a price.

AMBER

George Washington Sears

Woodcraft (Illustrated)

New York, 1884: a Pennsylvania shoemaker who weighs little more than a hundred pounds writes down how to travel for weeks through the wilderness with twenty-six pounds of duffle. Knapsack, hatchet and knives, the shanty-tent, the camp-fire built as it should be, frogging and camp cookery, a ten days’ tramp alone across Michigan, and the ten-and-a-half-pound cedar canoe — Sears’ book is instruction and story in one.

ANTHRACITE

Francis Parkman

The Oregon Trail (Illustrated)

The Great Plains in 1846: emigrant trains, buffalo hunts, trading posts, and weeks in an Oglala camp. Parkman’s first book records a journey into a West still being travelled and contested.

James Hall

The Harpe’s Head (Illustrated)

Virginia in the 1790s: a young stranger rides into the settled world of the planter aristocracy, while in the mountains and canebrakes of Kentucky the Harpe brothers make the borderlands a place where no traveller rides safe.

Sir Francis Younghusband

The Epic of Mount Everest (Illustrated)

In 1921, Mount Everest was still a fortress of unknown ridges, glaciers and immense altitude. Britain sent an expedition not to conquer Everest, but to discover whether a way to its summit existed at all. They returned in 1922 to make the first determined assault upon the mountain, and again in 1924 for the expedition that would become inseparable from the names of George Mallory and Andrew Irvine.

GREEN

Grey Owl

The Men of the Last Frontier

Beyond the last road lay another Canada. It was a country of forest and muskeg, rivers and cold lakes, trap lines, winter camps and long distances travelled by canoe, snowshoe and dog team. Men who lived there depended less upon possessions than upon judgement: the ability to read weather, follow a trail, repair what had broken and endure what could not be avoided.

King Solomon’s Mines

Far beyond the familiar roads of southern Africa, where the desert gives way to mountains that no living traveller has crossed and returned to describe, an ancient map points towards a forgotten kingdom and the fabulous treasure once attributed to King Solomon.
