Henry Hudson: A Brief Statement of His Aims and His Achievements
Produced by Janet Kegg and PG Distributed Proofreaders
"HENRY HUDSON: A BRIEF STATEMENT OF HIS AIMS AND HIS ACHIEVEMENTS" by Thomas A. Janvier is a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The work centers on the life and explorations of the notable navigator Henry Hudson, detailing his ambitions, accomplishments, and the circumstances surrounding his demise at the hands of his mutinous crew. Through newly uncovered documents, the author aims to shed light on both Hudson's discoveries and the events leading to his tragic end. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces the pivotal moment in Hudson's career when he veered off course from his ordered journey, leading to the discovery of what is now known as the Hudson River. The text reflects on Hudson's seemingly predestined path as he engaged in notable voyages commissioned by both the English and Dutch maritime companies. Janvier also presents concerns over the limited knowledge regarding Hudson's early life and the treacherous final voyage, during which mutiny led to his abandonment in Hudson Bay. The opening encapsulates Hudson's significance in maritime history while pondering the impact of fate on his life and achievements. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
Reading ease score: 58.7 (10th to 12th grade). Somewhat difficult to read.
