PALUKA, FRANK. - The Three Voyages of Captain Cook.First Edition; Demy 8vo; pp. xiv, 82; portrait frontispiece, b/w maps throughout, index; original brown cloth with title and illustration in gilt on front board, a very good copy. (Pittsburgh), Beta Phi Mu, 1974. Of his three major voyages of exploration James Cook himself wrote narrative accounts which have survived, and in addition on all voyages a number of Cook's companions kept journals of their own. This book draws upon the best of these first-hand accounts in order to piece together a single brief narrative which should attempt to suggest the amplitude and excitement of these remarkable eighteenth-century explorations.
