The Arctic Voyages Of Martin Frobisher : An Elizabethan Adventure

Attribution
Robert McGhee
Publication Details
Book, University of Washington Press, 2001
Description
Using reports from the men who participated in the venture, details preserved in the oral histories of the Inuit, and archaeological information recovered from the sites of Elizabethan activities on Baffin Island, Robert McGhee describes Frobisher’s expeditions and offers new insights into this audacious venture. The story ends on an ironic note–the capital of the new Territory of Nunavut, which restores to the Inuit a measure of the sovereignty claimed for England by Frobisher, lies at the head of the bay named after him, where over four centuries ago the English first ventured into Arctic America.
