About this product
Product Information
For many long and grueling months, Captain James Cook and his crew had been sailing the Pacific Ocean, searching for the legendary Northwest Passage. The journey had been a dangerous and frustrating one, but then, in January 1778, Cook made an amazing discovery, a whole chain of lush, beautiful islands inhabited by friendly and fascinating people. In his unsuccessful hunt for the Northwest Passage, Cook had become the first European to discover the Hawaiian Islands. Author Ann Graham Gaines traces the exciting adventures of James Cook and his crew through their several voyages in the Pacific Ocean. Highlighting the unique cultures of the native people of the South Pacific, Gaines examines the interaction and eventual clash between the European and Pacific civilizations.

James Cook remains one of the greatest explorers of all time. The commander of three sailing explorations, Captain Cook circled the globe and became the first man to truly understand the geography of the South Pacific. Cook established contact between several South Pacific societies and Europeans for the first time. The land claims made by Cook helped expand the British Empire and included such significant places as New Zealand and Australia. In addition, Captain Cook visited the extremes of the earth as his ships crossed both the Antarctic and Arctic circles. In the end, natives in Hawaii killed James Cook. However, his exploratory contributions remain noteworthy and these are well chronicled in this biographical work. Author Ann Graham Gaines carefully presents the details of James Cook's life. Gaines tells Cook's story with an eye toward creating an informative overview of this daring man's accomplishments. The author successfully provides readers with an eye-opening look at a fascinating sailor of the 18th century. Part of the "In World History" series., Children's Literature
