BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE
For the earlier voyages of the English to the Northern seas the first and princ.i.p.al authority is, of course, the famous collection of contemporary narratives gathered together by Richard Hakluyt under the t.i.tle, _Princ.i.p.al Navigations, Voyages, Traffiques, and Discoveries of the English Nation_. Here the reader will find accounts of the enterprises of Frobisher, Davis, and others as written by members of the expeditions and persons closely connected therewith. An interesting presentation of the exploits of Hudson, as revealed in original doc.u.ments, is found in _Henry Hudson, the Navigator_, published by the Hakluyt Society. The journal of Samuel Hearne, together with many maps and much interesting material, is to be found among the publications of the Champlain Society, (Toronto, 1911) ably edited and annotated by the well-known explorer Mr J. B. Tyrrell.
Alexander Mackenzie's own account of his voyages is a cla.s.sic, and is readily accessible in public libraries. An account of Mackenzie's career is found in the 'Makers of Canada' series. Sir John Franklin left behind him a very graphic description of his first journey to the polar seas, to which {148} reference has already been made in the text.
For the story of the loss of Franklin and the search for his missing s.h.i.+ps the reader may best consult the works of Sir John Richardson, and others who partic.i.p.ated in the events of the period.
