4.0 out of 5 stars
An excellent biography of Henry Hudson,
By
This review is from: Charting the Sea of Darkness: The Four Voyages of Henry Hudson (Kodansha Globe) (Paperback)
Not much is known about Henry Hudson, and records are few, but Johnson manages to piece together all of the main elements into one easily-readable book. Johnson also brings his own experience as a sailor to the book, giving it a new facet for readers. Based mostly on Hudson's own journals, this is a concise picture of Hudson's known voyages, with a lot of interesting and informative asides. I recommend this book

5.0 out of 5 stars
great book,
This review is from: Charting the Sea of Darkness: The Four Voyages of Henry Hudson (Kodansha Globe) (Paperback)
This book is surprising gem of exploration and biography. Johnson makes excellent use of a vast colection of maps, something sorely lacking in many similar books. His grasp of history and the ocean make this a particularly good and informative read.
