As the Spanish proverb says: "He who would bring home the wealth
of the Indies must carry the wealth of the Indies with him." So
it is in travelling: A man must carry knowledge with him if he
would bring home knowledge.

HIGGINSON, T.W. (Editor).
Young Folks' Book of American Explorers.
Longmans. 1.20
It has always seemed to me that the narratives of the early
discoverers and explorers of the American coast were as
interesting as Robinson Crusoe, and were, indeed, very much like
it. This has led me to make a series of extracts from these
narratives, selecting what appeared to me the most interesting
parts, and altering only the spelling.... One great thing which I
have wished my readers to learn is the charm of an original
narrative.... The explorers of various nations are represented in
this book. There are Northmen, Italians, Englishmen, Frenchmen,
Spaniards, and Dutchmen.--_Preface._
These original accounts cover the field of American exploration from
the discovery of the country by the Northmen in 985 to the settlement
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1629.

Russia. It is an excellent book for children to use while travelling.
