The Journals of Captain Cook
James Cook
Selected and Edited with Introductions by Philip Edwards
In three expeditions between 1768 and 1779, Captain Cook charted the entire coast of New Zealand and the east coast of Australia, and brought back detailed descriptions of Tahiti, Tonga, and a host of previously unknown islands in the Pacific including the Hawaiian islands. This selection preserves the spirit and rhythm of the full narrative, as well as Cook’s idiosyncratic spelling.
