Reseña del editor

One of the Age of Discovery's most enigmatic figures is Henry Hudson, whose quest for the northwest passage from Europe to China led him to explore such North American waterways as the Hudson River and Delaware Bay. Using the logs of Hudson and his contemporaries, Johnson rebuilds the man and his times to show the true influence of Dutch colonialism in America. 33 illustrations.
