HANSEN, Thorkild MCFARLANE, James, trans. LYNCH, John, trans. MUNK, Jens. Way to Hudson Bay. 1st US in dj.
Harcourt, Brace & World, 1970,
HANSEN, Thorkild. The Way to Hudson Bay: The Life and Times of Jens Munk; translated by James McFarlane and John Lynch. NY: Harcourt, Brace & World, (1970). First US Edition. Pp 348. 8vo, brown cloth. "Jens Munk's life centers on the sea. He was one of the intrepid sixteenth-century explorers who navigated the Arctic seas with inadequate ships, faulty charts, and primitive instruments. He was also one of the few who survived the arduous search for the Northwest Passage, who reached Hudson Bay in 1619, wintered there, buried most of his crew, and by a supreme effort of will and skill made the voyage home with the two crewmen left to him. His diary of his most spectacular and tragic enterprise survived intact, and inspired this biography." -from the dj. Vg in dj. 50.00
