Note 84 — Chapter XV · EARLY VOYAGES TO HUDSON’S BAY Knight—Hudson—Button and the North-West Company
Reading edition
Brunel was a Dutchman. He had proposed to Christian IV to discover the lost colony of Greenland, and was probably in Hall’s first voyage. A Cape on the Greenland coast was named after him. The story of Oliver Brunel was brought to light by S. Müller and Koolemans Beynen, the very able young editor of the 2nd edition of the Barentsz voyages.
