Hudson
Description
History has not been kind to Henry Hudson, often remembered for his short temper and the mutiny that ended his life rather than his contributions to exploration. Despite his personal shortcomings, Hudson displayed remarkable courage and vision, exploring regions like Hudson's Bay and what is now New York City under harsh conditions. Janice Weaver's biography paints a compelling portrait of Hudson, highlighting his advances in our understanding of the world rather than his tragic demise.
