{"product_id":"thunder-go-north-melissa-darby-9781607817444","title":"Thunder Go North: The Hunt for Sir Francis Drake's Fair and Good Bay","description":"In the summer of 1579 Francis Drake and all those aboard the \u003ci\u003eGolden Hind\u003c\/i\u003e were in peril. The ship was leaking and they were in search of a protected beach to careen the ship to make repairs. They searched the coast and made landfall in what they called a 'Fair and Good Bay', generally thought to be in California. They stacked the treasure they had recently captured from the Spanish onto on this sandy shore, repaired the ship, explored the country, and after a number of weeks they set sail for home. When they returned to England, they became the second expedition to circumnavigate the earth, after Magellan's voyage in 1522, and the first to return with its commander. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThunder Go North\u003c\/i\u003e unravels the mysteries surrounding Drake's famous voyage and summer sojourn in this bay. Comparing Drake's observations of the Natives' houses, dress, foods, language, and lifeways with ethnographic material collected by early anthropologists, Melissa Darby makes a compelling case that Drake and his crew landed not in California but on the Oregon coast. She also uncovers the details of how an early twentieth-century hoax succeeded in maintaining the California landing theory and silencing contrary evidence. Presented here in an engaging narrative, Darby's research beckons for history to be rewritten. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Melissa Darby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1607817446\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781607817444\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Utah Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/30\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.95lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.80d","brand":"Melissa Darby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43995396014335,"sku":"9781607817444","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_570a1545-35cc-4a68-b790-6f53314a88df.jpg?v=1683335586","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/thunder-go-north-melissa-darby-9781607817444","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
