Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the accounts of two English navigators who set out in search of a Northwest Passage in 1631. The first account is from Luke Foxe, who commanded one of the ships on the expedition. Foxe's narrative provides detailed accounts of the encounters and discoveries made during their voyage, including descriptions of the indigenous peoples they encountered. The second account is from Thomas James, who commanded the other ship on the expedition. James's narrative offers a complementary perspective on their voyage and also contains valuable observations on the natural history and geography of the region. Together, these accounts provide a fascinating glimpse into the challenges and dangers faced by early explorers, and shed light on the history of Arctic exploration and the search for a Northwest Passage.
