"Nobody knows what he truly looked like. Portraits in museums, on cigar wrappers, and in books are based on the imagination of artists. We don't know where he died, and have only the testimony of a few survivors about why the fatal mutiny arose in remote northern Canada. Yet one of the world's greatest rivers and ones of its largest bays bear his name, offering conspicuous testament to a life of achievement. Now, in a unique mix of travel essay and historical sleuthing, Corey Sandler tracks down the Henry Hudson that time forgot, giving us a fascinating portrait of a tragic hero in the age of Discovery". Book about Henry Hudson. Time Period. Locale: Northern Canada. (Canada, Exploration--Canada, Explorers).
