The book relates, for the first time, Cree and Inuit history as they encountered Hudson during his exploration of Hudson Bay. This information is based upon the information given to a pilot who flew many trips into the Hudson Bay area when he was transporting material to the various radar sites set up in Northern Canada during the late 1950's and 60's. The author learned this information from the pilot because both had an interest in Hudson and were members of the Explorers Club. The book describes how the Cree witnessed the mutiny and rescued Hudson and his remaining men. The book also shows that knowledge of the Hudson Bay area existed before Hudson arrived there in 1610 based on maps existing years before that date showing Hudson Bay. It also examines the Champlain Map of 1632 and demonstrates that the part showing the eastern portion of Hudson Bay shows the land as it looked thousands of years before Hudson got to Hudson Bay. The author estimates that the map on which the Champlain map is based was surveyed at least 3000 years earlier. The book also shows that Hudson most likely had some of these early maps in his possession when he went to Hudson Bay. These maps likely indicated the possibility of valuable ore, for the route Hudson traveled showed that Hudson was interested in the metal resources of Hudson Bay and not in finding the Northwest passage.
