This is an easily read narrative history with Henry Hudson's 1609 voyage in the HALF MOON as the common thread. Incidents of discovery occurring before 1492 are touched upon. Though much of the work deals with the 1609 voyage, the explorations and works of many others are covered. These is some speculation regarding who was first where and it is well known that politics in Europe impelled events in exploration. Many of the financial instruments of today (including trading shares, futures contracts, buy and sell options, and "derivatives" were developed by the Dutch just before the time period covered by Hunter's work and likely helped finance Hudson's voyage. There was a three-way international intrigue regarding the voyage itself. At first the Dutch were not going to finance it, and the French were getting ready to provide the funds. During the negotiations between the Dutch VOC and Hudson, Hudson went to England in mysterious circumstances. The most interesting aspect of Hunter's work is the connections he draws between the various figures and countries involved in the various voyages of discovery and colonization. Unless we take college courses in history we do not hear of individuals e.g. George Waymouth and a host of others one meets in this work.
