No source, but generally speaking the men who set out as explorers in that era were terrible people - people in that era in general were not wonderful human beings in general in a modern sense, and ones who decided to up and leave society and strike out on their own had good reasons to do so, reasons that generally had to do with not being good at playing by what few societal rules existed in those days.
Was he worse relative to other, similar men of the era? Not that i'm aware of. But he most definitely wouldn't be the kind of person your average Millennial would want to subscribe to his podcast.
