Elcano and the First Circumnavigation of the World Book 2

Action/Adventure Story: This account by Elcano sheds new light on the voyage, on the tensions that existed among the participants, on the sights they saw, on the hardships and disasters they endured. It is a unique account written by the man who succeeded in circumnavigating the globe in a small wooden ship at a time when half the world had not been explored by Europeans, and when it was not even sure that it might be possible to sail around the globe. It concludes with the death of Magellan in the Philippines.
