Becoming a Geographer
In the book The Explorer King, by Robert Wilson is a biography of Clarence King. This biography is about the Scientist-Explorer Clarence King who helped create the West of the nineteenth century. Clarence King became a celebrity after exposing a fraud known as The Great Diamond Hoax. Clarence King in having a sense of adventure, tells of amusing stories, some that are true, and some that are exaggerated. Such as, him escaping an attack by Indians, being chased by bandits for two days, and him surviving a huge blizzard near Yosemite.
In my opinion, this book was a good book and I like how it gave many vivid descriptions of the stories. Such as, when Clarence King was hiking in Yosemite, the book writes, " Snow blew in every direction, filling our eyes and blinding the poor mules, who often turned quickly from some sudden gust, and refused to go on" (Wilson 154).
I enjoyed this book, and I would recommend this book to anyone who likes biographies and reading stories of adventure and discovery. This biography really shows Clarence King's personality and adventure in really vivid ways.
