The Blind Horn’s Hate (Cape Horn & the Utmost South) – Richard Hough

Short Description

Published by Hutchinson's, London in 1971 a first edition. Octavo, 336 pages, packed with illustrations and charts and with endpaper maps. Vary good condition, top edge stained green as issued. Good dust jacket.

Richard Hough’s book does more than any other to educate the reader on maritime history and the geography of the complex channels of Tierra del Fuego. Drake, Magellan etc as you would expect but also Anson, Byron etc and the loss of the Wager and the mutinous circumstances following … a Voyager classic. And the Darwin and the fate of the natives.

The title references Rudyard Kipling's ... The Long Trail ... "It's north you may run to the rime-ringed sun, or south to the blind horn's hate ..."

Avoid the Horn and through the Channels
