INDIAN TRIBES OF HUDSON'S RIVER Vol I to 1700 Vol II 1700-1850 by E.M. Ruttenber From the Publisher's Introduction Picture waking up one morning to the arrival of a fascinating people unlike any you had ever seen, who could do things you never thought possible and had riches beyond your imagining. They seemed a friendly people, and although you didn't understand what they said, they led you to believe that they wanted to live with you in peace. Then imagine how you would feel when you realized that the strangers had weapons that could kill from afar, that through lies and trickery they were stealing your land and all you owned, and that they squandered the wealth of the nature you revered while poisoning you with rum and disease. Imagine all that and you begin to feel what the Indians must have felt in 1609 when Henry Hudson first sailed into New York harbor . . . wonder, awe and horror

See Also Henry Hudson - Passageways: True Tales of Adventure for Young Explorers HENRY HUDSON'S DARING EXPLOITS Henry Hudson (? - c. 1611) We know neither Henry Hudson's birthdate nor his birthplace, but we do know that the navigator was already well travelled when he decided to pursue those explorations already undertaken by Martin Frobisher John Davis , George Waymouth (1602) and John Knight (1606) to the bay that would later bear his name. First he tried to find the famous Northwest Passage to Asia between Greenland and the Spitzbergen Archipelago. Then, hired by the Netherlands, he explored the Hudson River to the rapids at present-day Albany. Hudson returned to the service of England when the founders of the East India and Northwest Passage companies, wealthy traders much interested in exploration, asked him to explore Davis Strait further. Hendrick (Henry) Hudson In April 1610, Henry Hudson embarked on the Discovery with 21 crewmen, including the future pilot, Robert Bylot. Hudson was a determined man but lacked judgement in his choice of sailors. Shortly after leaving, and throughout the voyage, he was mired in conflicts between members of his crew. With constant concerns about how to calm his men, he reached Hudson Strait in June. His mandate was to explore the area west of Davis Strait. The reports by Davis and others, based on the tides and the ice at the mouth of Hudson Strait led him to believe that there was a passage there. After a zig-zag voyage through the ice floes of the strait, he entered the bay that bears his name today. This was a very important step in the explorations of North America as, even by the standards of the great navigators of the 19th century, this would have been a very dangerous and impressive passage.

WILLIAMS Email Archives Print Reprint September 18, 2003 Just what does one have to do to get a river named after him? Henry Hudson knew. Read on to see how this famous navigator earned the honor. H enry Hudson was a man on a mission. Hudson was obsessed with finding a passage to the Orient via the North Pole. He made four attempts at it. He sailed farther north than anyone else had done during that time. Hudson's first recorded voyage was in 1607 on the Hopewell. He theorized that due to the constant sun, the ice at the North Pole would melt and he would find open sea and his Orient passage. He did not find open sea, but he did find whales. This would lead to the launch of the whaling industry and the slaughter to near extinction of the gentle sea giants. Three months later, he was back at the helm of the Hopewell, this time searching for his passage through the frigid waters north of Russia. He steered the ship through the icy waters without incident but was unable to get past the island of Novaya Zamlya.
