"Vikings of the Pacific" by Agnes C. Laut is a historical narrative that recounts the journeys of explorers who traversed the Pacific Coast of America. The book showcases important people, such as Vitus Bering, Francis Drake, and Captain Cook, who competed to find new routes and control the fur trade.
