The British explorer Henry Hudson dedicated his life to the visit a water path through America, becoming the first Western european to navigate the Hudson River along the way. In Fatal Quest, acclaimed historian and biographer Peter C. Mancall narrates Hudson’s final expedition.
In the wintertime of 1610, after navigating dangerous domains of icebergs near to the northern suggestion of Labrador, Hudson’s small ship became stuck in winter glaciers. Provisions grew scarce and tensions attached amongst the crew. Within a few months, the men mutinied, forcing Hudson, his teenage boy, and seven other men into a skiff, that they left floating in the Hudson Bay.
A history of exploration, desperation, and icebound tragedy, Fatal Quest vividly chronicles the undoing of the fantastic explorer, not by an irritated ocean, but at the hands of his own men.
