Description and Table of Contents

Description

This work includes an introduction by Robert Welsch. On each of his three voyages, Cook kept a log and his reputation rose steadily with each voyage largely because Europeans were fascinated with the romance of discovery as well as reports of sexual licence in Tahiti and other Polynesian islands.
