The voyages of Captain Cook are endlessly fascinating to a wide
audience, and no aspect of them has been more controversial than
Cook's death. This book reprints one of the classic accounts of
this episode, the vivid and lively narrative by one of the voyage
surgeons, David Samwell. This book not only makes Samwell's
"Narrative of the Death of Captain James Cook" readily available
for the first time, but presents it with Samwell's previously
unpublished letters relating to Cook's third voyage, and his
poetry. The introductory essays discuss Samwell's contribution to
our understanding of this dramatic period in Pacific and maritime
history, and examine the personality and career of Samwell himself.
