Fatal Journey - The Final Expedition of Henry Hudson (Paperback)

The English explorer Henry Hudson devoted his life to the search
for a water route through America, becoming the first European to
navigate the Hudson River in the process. In Fatal Journey ,
acclaimed historian and biographer Peter C. Mancall narrates
Hudson's final expedition. In the winter of 1610, after navigating
dangerous fields of icebergs near the northern tip of Labrador,
Hudson's small ship became trapped in winter ice. Provisions grew
scarce and tensions mounted amongst the crew. Within months, the
men mutinied, forcing Hudson, his teenage son, and seven other men
into a skiff, which they left floating in the Hudson Bay. A story
of exploration, desperation, and icebound tragedy, Fatal Journey
vividly chronicles the undoing of the great explorer, not by an
angry ocean, but at the hands of his own men.
