I love stories that mix real life history with mysticism or mythology. I particularly love stories of 1800-early 1900s explorers mapping out or journeying to unknown lands. Movies like Peter Jackson's King Kong and historical stories like De Loy's Ape interest me to no end, so I'm wondering if there are any books that fall into this specific genre of explorers trekking through the jungle and finding lost civilizations, cryptids, or even
Personal accounts of real people from history talking about their exploits. Whether or not they're lying for glory or an ulterior motive, the stories are interesting nonetheless.
