This fascinating and important original account of Captain Cook's last voyage and death tells the story of the writer, the Welsh surgeon David Samwell, who was one of the most important members of Cook's crew. The book will make Samwell's "Death of Captain James Cook" available for the first time, presenting it with previously unpublished letters relating to Cook's third voyage, and his poetry. The introductory essays assess Samwell's contribution to our understanding of this dramatic period in Pacific maritime history, and also analyses the wider dimensions concerning Samwell's personality and career. The work will enable readers to engage with the primary sources concerning cross-cultural encounters in the Pacific and to gain a fuller understanding of the radical, antiquarian, Welsh and British literary culture of the late eighteenth century.
