(4.7 stars; 33 reviews)

“In publishing a popular edition of my work, Captain James Cook, R.N., F.R.S., it has, of course, been necessary to condense it, but care has been taken to omit nothing of importance, and at the same time a few slight errors have been corrected, and some new information has been added, chiefly relating to the disposition of documents.” - Summary by the author.

Critiques

as exiting as fiction but more impressive because truthful.

So Thankful - No Revisionist History Here!

What a GREAT look at what really occurred- not some totally and ridiculously one-sided view of history like what we constantly see these days ...
