               Clay Jenkinson writes,
                " . . . Gulliver's Travels and the Journals of Lewis and Clark
               belong to the same genre.  They are both travel notes from
               the Age of Exploration. To call one fiction and the other fact i
               s to overlook their common focus on the challenge of the other."
