However, exactly how his demise in the Hawaiian Islands occurred remains a source of confusion for historians. This memoir by one of the men who accompanied Cook to the Pacific Ocean describes the events leading up to the famed adventurer's death as well as the aftermath of the tragedy from an eyewitness point of view of which very few were privy to. This brief narrative is the definitive account of the last days and tragic death of one of history's most famous distinguished figures.

Download or read book A Narrative of the Death of Captain James Cook written by David Samwell and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To those who have perused the account of the last voyage to the Pacific Ocean, the following sheets may, at first sight, appear superfluous. The author, however, being of the opinion, that the event of Captain Cook's death has not yet been so explicitly related as the importance of it required, trusts that this Narrative will not be found altogether a repetition of what is already known. At the same time, he wishes to add his humble testimony to the merit of the account given of this transaction by Captain King. Its brevity alone can afford an excuse for this publication, the object of which is to give a more particular relation of that unfortunate affair, which he finds is in general but imperfectly understood. He thinks himself warranted in saying this, from having frequently observed, that the public opinion seemed to attribute the loss of Captain Cook's life, in some measure, to rashness or too much confidence on his side; whereas nothing can be more ill-founded or unjust. It is, therefore, a duty which his friends owe to his character, to have the whole affair candidly and fully related, whatever facts it may involve, that may appear of a disagreeable nature to individuals. The author is confident, that if Captain King could have foreseen, that any wrong opinion respecting Captain Cook, would have been the consequence of omitting some circumstances relative to his death; the goodnatured motive that induced him to be silent, would not have stood a moment in competition with the superior call of justice to the memory of his friend.

Book Synopsis Captain James Cook by : Aldyth Morris
Download or read book Captain James Cook written by Aldyth Morris and published by University of Hawaii Press. This book was released on 1995-06-01 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Captain James Cook is perhaps best remembered as the first European to reach the Hawaiian Islands. In his lifetime, however, Cook was noted for his skill as a cartographer and navigator and for his progressive ideas on the health and treatment of his crew. In this monodrama based on Cook's journals, the life of one of the great heroes of European exploration is revealed - from his humble beginnings as the son of an English farmer to his triumphant discoveries as the commander of the Royal Navy's Endeavour and Resolution. It was as captain of the Resolution that Cook met his death on the island of Hawai'i in 1779. As he lies dying, Cook reflects on his life and is haunted by faces from his near and distant past.
