From the era of wooden sailing ships and Europe’s golden age of exploration, the story of famed British navigator Henry Hudson tells a classic tale of courage, ambition, and treachery on the high seas. As the leader of four Arctic voyages in 1607, 1608, 1609, and 1610, Hudson searched in vain for a navigable route through the polar ice that would open the way to the riches of Asia. In his obsession to succeed, he made reckless decisions that pushed his crew to the brink, with disastrous results. Hudson did not achieve his goal, but as a result of his skillful mapping of Hudson Bay and the Hudson River area, his name would live on as a prominent landmark in the geography and imagination of North America. In 1874, he was appointed assistant commissioner of the newly formed North West Mounted Police and led his troops west to smash the whisky trade and bring law and order to the vast North-West Territories. Macleod smoked the peace pipe with prominent chiefs like Crowfoot and Red Crow, earning their trust as a man who kept his promises. As a policeman and judge, Macleod showed a strong sense of justice, sympathizing with the plight of First Nations peoples and challenging the government when it failed to fulfill treaty obligations. This exciting new biography is a vivid account of the larger-than-life Canadian hero who played a major role in the peaceful development of western Canada.

Excerpt from Henry Hudson, the Navigator Henry Hudson is known to most educated men as the discoverer of Hudson's River, Hudson's Strait, and Hudson's Bay. Very few persons, however, have tried to obtain a more intimate knowledge of this remarkable character. Yet, besides the importance of his voyages, his career offers a great and unique moral interest. More than any other man Hudson has identified himself with one sole idea, in the service of which he laboured with matchless heroism. All these valiant efforts were in vain, and led him to a frightful martyrdom. And yet he owes to these same fruitless achievements a justly-earned renown, greater than that at which he aimed. Hudson's one idea, to discover a short route to Asia by the North, was not of Hudson's creation. It owed, in various shapes, its origin to that great and all but unknown man, Sebastian Cabot, the discoverer of the mainland of America, and the founder of England's maritime power. A large amount of glorious enterprise had already, in 1607, been produced by his plans; and by the voyages his ideas gave rise to the names of John and Sebastian Cabot, of Cortereal, Verazzano, Gomez, Davis, Willoughby, Chancellor, Barents, Heemskerk, Linschoten, and many others of minor note, had become historical. All these labours, however, and those of Hudson's like them, were doomed to be fruitless as regarded their main purpose, for their object is beyond the reach of man. All the short northern routes to Asia are blocked up by permanent icefields, and can therefore never become practicable for ships. Yet, in spite of their fruitlessness, these bold ventures belong to the most important events that history records.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1860 edition. Excerpt: ... July, the date where Hudson's share of the log-book is said to begin. If the log-book was, indeed, partly his work, he must have purposely omitted some of his most important explorations. As to John Playse or Pleyce, the probable writer of the whole log-book, next to nothing is known about him. His name occurs only once, as one of the crew of the ship in which the first voyage was performed. There he ranks very low. Among Hudson's eleven companions (one of whom was a boy), Playse's name stands seventh. He must therefore have been a common sailor; and it would be impossible to attribute to him the observations of the needle recorded in the first person on page 2 of his journal.1 These observations, like all the other important parts of Playse's account, are evidently due to Hudson himself. The log-book was probably intended only for Playse's private use, or perhaps also for some other sailor's. It is entirely of a professional nature. It contains, however, many passages of interest for the general reader, and principally those which reveal Hudson's ideas and plans. The descriptions of coasts, capes, harbours, and seas, are without any literary pretension. Still they are striking enough in their simplicity. For the history of geography, the logbook is of the very highest value, although it unfortunately lacks some important information but imperfectly supplied by other sources. The account of the second voyage (to Nova Zem 1 P. 2, li. 5, 1. 16. bla) is likewise a log-book.1 Henry Hudson himself is its author. It commences with the departure from London, April 22, 1608, and concludes with the return to Gravesend, August 26 of the same year. Its character is, in almost every respect, like that of Playse's journal. Some of the descriptions, ..
