Excerpt from Marble Island and the North-West Coast of Hudson's BayMarble Island, in the north-western part of Hudson's Bay, is better known than any other spot in that part of the world, mainly owing to the fact that it has long been the rendezvous of the American whalers who frequent our great inland sea. But it has some very interesting historical associations as well, and its extraordinary appearance has helped to bring it into notice. Although it was first called Marble Island, the name was changed to brook-cobham, by Fox, the discoverer of the great Channel which constitutes the north-westward continuation of Hudson's Straits, and which bears his name. However, the original name is now generally adopted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
