Henry Hudson: Seeking The Northwest Passage (In the Footsteps of Explorers)

This book is intended for ages 8-14. In the early 1600s, England was among the many countries in search of a northern passage to trade with the Far East.

Its features include: map of Hudson's routes; the Muscovy Company; the customs and cultures of the Penebscot, Lenape, and Mahican tribes; the ships and their cargo; the duties and pastimes of the crew while at sea; early navigational equipment; Hudson's discoveries of Hudson's Bay, Greenland, and the Hudson River; the Hudson's Bay Company and the fur trade; a recipe from the period; and how England benefited from Hudson's expeditions.
