After the War of Rebellion the Gun Club of America was upset with no war to build guns for or to invent new guns for use. Someone came up with the idea to use a gun to send a projectile to the moon. Lots of astronomical and physical and mathematical calculations later they are ready, when a Frenchman arrives saying to change the shape from a ball to a cylinder so he can go. Lots of arguing later they change the projectile and the Gun Club President and his rival decide to accompany the Frenchman. They are sent off but things don't go as planned and they don't quite make the moon. The second book is told from the point of view of the travelers, how they survive and what they see in their travels. Verne had some things right and lots wrong in his story. I found it rather tedious and the attitudes of all the players very arrogant. Glad I read this classic but not interested in pursuing much else by Verne.
