This is a wonderful account of the 16th century journey around the world led by Magellan. This is really worth reading for those interested in basic world history or specifically the Age of Discovery.

Filling a long missing gap in the history of southern CA, this biography documents the life of Don Benito Wilson, the man Mt. Wilson was named after, grandfather of Gen. George Patton, and one of the most significant pioneers of Los Angeles to date. Born during the lifetimes of John Adams & Thomas Jefferson, he was able to live long enough to see the city begin to resemble what modern-day citizens would recognize. A must-read for any southern CA resident!
