McGoogan Ken
Ancient Mariner The Amazing Adventures of Samuel Hearne the Sailor Who Walked to the Arctic Ocean
Toronto: Harpercollins Publishers Ltd. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 2003. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. 0002000989 . DJ and boards show very light shelf wear. ; A bright solid book dustjacket in Mylar unclipped.; B&W Illustrations; 9.0 X 6.3 X 1.3 inches; 334 pages; "Samuel Hearne is grudgingly recognized as the eighteenth-century British adventurer who during a remarkable three-year odyssey became the first European to reach the Arctic coast of North America. In Ancient Mariner McGoogan demonstrates that Hearne was far more complex accomplished and influential than the history books suggest. Beginning with Hearne�s entry into the Royal Navy at twelve years of age McGoogan paints an authentic portrait of eighteenth-century British life both on and off the wooden sailing ships. After serving as a midshipman during the tumultuous Seven Years� War Hearne moved to London and in 1766 just twenty-one joined the Hudson�s Bay Company. Based at the company�s northernmost fort an ambitious Hearne embarked on an overland quest for rich veins of copper supposedly located �far to the northward where the sun don�t set��and also to discover the Northwest Passage. In his posthumously published journal Hearne described the three-year odyssey�a harrowing journey marked by hardship hunger and disappointment and mitigated only by his friendship with the legendary Dene leader Matonabbee. Hearne trekked more than 3500 miles. His epic adventure culminated in the infamous and still-controversial massacre at �Bloody Falls��an event that as McGoogan shows changed him forever. Drawing on naval history fur-trade history and literary history McGoogan portrays Hearne as a skilled navigator a pioneering anthropologist a ground-breaking naturalist and a gifted natural artist. He fell in love with a native woman and never fully recovered after she died tragically." . Harpercollins Publishers Ltd. hardcover

McIntyre Kenneth Gordon
THE SECRET DISCOVERY OF AUSTRALIA. Portuguese Ventures 200 Years before Captain Cook
Melb/London: Souvenir Press. Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket. 1977. 1st Edition. Hard Cover. 0285623036 . With 8 plates & 55 line drawings maps on endpapers. Signed by the author on the half title previous owners name on verso of half title and small name sticker on rear endpaper. A very good copy in very good dustjacket. Everyone knows that Captain Cook 'discovered' the great continent of Australia in 1770. It says so in the history books and his many monuments in Australia acknowledge it. True the Dutch had sighted the West Coast in 1606. But it was Cook who found the harbours of the East and made settlement possible. But K. G. Mclntyre an Australian lawyer with a lifelong interest in the history of discovery has uncovered a different story. By studying ancient maps particularly those known as the Dauphin and 'Dieppe' maps and researching the history of Portuguese navigation from the time of Henry the Navigator he shows that not only was Captain James Cook not the first European to visit Australia he was preceded by more than 200 years. For is it not reasonable that the Portuguese who discovered Timor in the mid-16th century should have found the vast continent a mere 250 miles away as well How else to explain the mysterious records of the finding of a wrecked 'Mahogany Ship' on the Southern Victorian Coast Mclntyre's story of these early voyages his detailed understanding of the development of deep-sea navigation and of the policies that drove the Maritime Powers of Spain and Portugal to compete to rule the world on either side of the Pope's meridian make his book compelling reading in itself. But The Secret Discovery of Australia is also a fascinating suspense story the tale of the author's own unravelling of a great historical mystery the unearthing of secrets that have been kept for hundreds of years. He engrosses his reader as he sets right a great injustice for the records. ; 220 x 140mm; xxi 427 pages; Signed by Author . Souvenir Press hardcover

MCPHERSON ROBERT S. & SUSAN RHOADES NEEL
Mapping The Four Corners: Narrating The Hayden Survey Of 1875
University of Oklahoma Press Norman: 2016. Hardcover with dustjacket. Brand new book. In 1875 a team of cartographers geologists and scientists under the direction of Ferdinand V. Hayden entered the Four Corners area for what they thought would be a calm summer's work completing a previous survey. Their accomplishments would go down in history as one of the great American surveying expeditions of the nineteenth century. By skillfully weaving the surveyors' diary entries field notes and correspondence with newspaper accounts historians Robert S. McPherson and Susan Rhoades Neel bring the Hayden Survey to life. Mapping the Four Corners provides an entertaining engaging narrative of the team's experiences contextualized with a thoughtful introduction and conclusion. Accompanied by the great photographer William Henry Jackson Hayden's team quickly found their trip to be more challenging than expected. The travelers describe wrangling half-wild pack mules trying to sleep in rain-soaked blankets and making tea from muddy alkaline water. Along the way they encountered diverse peoples evidence of prehistoric civilizations and spectacular scenery�Hispanic villages in Colorado and New Mexico; Mesa Verde Hovenweep and other Anasazi sites; and the Hopi mesas. Not everyone they met was glad to see them: in southeastern Utah surveyors fought and escaped a band of Utes and Paiutes who recognized that the survey meant dispossession from their homeland. Hayden saw his expedition as a scientific endeavor focused on geology geographic description cartographic accuracy and even ethnography but the search for economic potential was a significant underlying motive. As this book shows these pragmatic scientists were on the lookout for gold beneath every rock grazing lands in every valley and economic opportunity around each bend in the trail. The Hayden Survey ultimately shaped the American imagination in contradictory ways solidifying the idea of "progress"�and government funding of its pursuit�while also revealing via Jackson's photographs a landscape with a beauty hitherto unknown and unimagined. 30 black-and-white Illustrations 5 maps 304 pages 6" x 9". Robert S. McPherson is Professor of History at Utah State University-Eastern Blanding Campus. He is the author or coauthor of numerous books on Navajo history and the history of the Southwest including Under the Eagle: Samuel Holiday Navajo Code Talker with Samuel Holiday and Viewing the Ancestors: Perceptions of the Anaasazi Mokwic and Hisatsinom.

Medina Jose Toribio 1852 1930
El veneciano Sebastián Caboto al servicio de España y especialmente de su proyectado viaje á las Molucas por el Estrecho de Magallanes y al reconocimiento de la costa del continente hasta la gobernación de Pedrarias Dávila
2 volumes: ix634 pages with frontispiece photostat copies of original manuscripts plates and bibliography; 613 pages with index. Folio 13" x 9 3/4" bound in half leather with red and gilt lettering to spine and original wrappers bound in. First edition.<br /><br />Sebastian Cabot was born to Giovanni Caboto John Cabot also an explorer variously credited with Genoese or Gaetan origins and Mattea. In 1508-09 Sebastian Cabot followed in his father's footsteps by leading one of the first expeditions to find a North-West passage and indeed claimed to have found one but was forced to turn back by his crew. He may have found the entrance to Hudson's Bay. By 1512 Sebastian was certainly employed by Henry VIII as a cartographer at Greenwich. In the same year he accompanied the English explorer Hugh Willoughby to Spain where he was made captain by Ferdinand V. After Ferdinand's death he returned to England. In 1516 Cabot and Sir Thomas Pert then Vice Admiral of England sailed in two ships to explore the coasts of Brazil and the West Indies for Henry VIII. After coming under artillery fire at Hispaniola the expedition withdrew and returned to England reportedly because of Pert's faint-heartedness. Subsequently Cabot moved to Spain due to greater support for explorations by the Spanish king. In 1522 although once more in the employ of Spain as a member of the Council of the Indies and holding the rank of pilot-major he secretly offered his services to Venice undertaking to find the Northwest Passage to China. Cabot finally received the rank of captain general from Spain and was entrusted on March 4 1525 with the command of a fleet which was to determine from astronomical observation the precise demarcation of the Treaty of Tordesillas and then to convey settlers to the Moluccas in order to strengthen Spanish claims there. It was officially noted as an expedition "for the discovery of Tharsis Ophir and Eastern Cathay." This expedition consisted of four ships with 200 men and set sail from Sanlucar de Barrameda on April 3 1526. This voyage might have resulted in a second circumnavigation of the world. Upon landing in Brazil however rumors of the wealth of the Incan king and the nearly-successful invasion of Aleixo Garcia caused Cabot to abandon his charge and instead further explore the interior of the Rio de la Plata. Cabot had already earned the disapproval of his crew by stranding the fleet in the doldrums and running the flagship aground off Santa Catarina Island. His decision regarding the Rio de la Plata led to open resistance from Martin Mendez his lieutenant general Miguel de Rodas pilot of the capitana and Francisco de Rojas the captain of one of the other vessels. He dealt with the mutiny by marooning them and other officers on Santa Catarina Island. He then traveled into the Rio de la Plata and spent five months exploring the estuary. He established a fort called San Salvador at the confluence of the Uruguay and the Rio San Salvador. This was the first Spanish settlement in modern-day Uruguay. Leaving the two larger ships there he sailed up the Parana in the brigantine and a galley constructed at Santa Catarina. His party constructed a small fort called Santo or Espiritu Santo at the confluence of the Parana and the Rio Carcaras. This was the first Spanish settlement in present-day Argentina; the town of Caboto was later constructed nearby and named in his honor. Losing 18 men to an ambush he returned to San Salvador passing Diego Garcia's expedition as he went. Cabot sent one ship back to Spain with his reports accusations against the mutineers and requests for further aid. In the spring of 1529 he returned upriver to Espiritu Santo which he discovered had been overwhelmed and burnt by the Indians during his absence. He recovered the cannon and returned to San Salvador. At a council on 6 August 1529 it was decided to return to Spain. Cabot sailed with Garcia to Sao Vicente. Purchasing 50 slaves there he coasted Brazil and arrived in Seville on 22 July 1530 returning home with one ship and 24 men. He was arraigned on charges from the Crown Rojas and by the families of Rodas and Mendez. He was condemned by the Council of the Indies on charges of disobedience misadministration and causing the death of officers under his command and sentenced to heavy fines and a two-year banishment to Oran in North Africa. His banishment was later doubled. During these proceedings however the Emperor had been absent in Germany. Upon his return Cabot presented him with descriptions of the region. Although no pardon is recorded and the fines were still paid it is known that Cabot never went into exile and was pilot-major of Spain until 1547 when without losing either the title or the pension he left Spain and returned to England where he received a salary with the title of great navigator.<br /><br /><b>Condition:</b><br /><br />Some light edge wear rebound with original wrappers bound in a very good set.
