What are your favorite adventure biographies?
Even before fantasy and science fiction were genres we had adventure biographies. Travelers would journey into the unknown and share their heroic tale with the world (or someone else would in some cases). Whether you've experienced a call to adventure or prefer to read tales from others, what adventure biographies have stuck with you?
