The Death Of Captain Cook : A Hero Made And Unmade

  • The Death Of Captain Cook : A Hero Made And Unmade

  • Attribution

    Glyn Williams

  • Publication Details

    Book, Harvard University Press, 2008

  • Description

    Simultaneously called a hero and an antihero, a ruthless invader, and a torchbearer of the Enlightenment, Cook?s reputation grew as much out of the moving story of his death as out of his adventures while he lived. In a style that is more detective story than conventional biography, Glyn Williams explores the multiple narratives of Cook?s death. In short, Williams examines the story of Cook?s progress from obscurity to fame and, eventually, to infamy?a story that, until now, has never been fully told.

Frontiersman : Daniel Boone And The Making Of America

  • Frontiersman : Daniel Boone And The Making Of America

  • Attribution

    Meredith Mason Brown

  • Publication Details

    Book, Louisiana State University Press, 2008

  • Description

    The name Daniel Boone conjures up the image of an illiterate, coonskin cap-wearing patriot who settled Kentucky and killed countless Indians. Boone did indeed kill Indians during the bloody fighting for Kentucky, but he also respected Indians, became the adopted son of a Shawnee chief, and formed lasting friendships with many Shawnees who once held him captive. Hundreds of thousands of settlers entered Kentucky on the road that Boone and his axemen blazed from the Cumberland Gap to the Kentucky River. Through his colorful chronicle of Boone’s experiences, Brown paints a rich portrayal of colonial and Revolutionary America, the relations between whites and Indians, the opening and settling of the Old West, and the birth of the American national identity.

America’s Ocean Wilderness : A Cultural History Of Twentieth-century Exploration

  • America's Ocean Wilderness : A Cultural History Of Twentieth-century Exploration

  • Attribution

    Gary Kroll

  • Publication Details

    Book, University Press of Kansas, 2008

  • Description

    Assessing work that often straddles professional science and popular culture, Gary Kroll examines the different perspectives a handful of scientists and naturalists - Jacques Cousteau, Thor Heyerdahl, Roy Chapman Andrews, Robert Cushman Murphy, Eugenie Clark, Rachel Carson, and William Beebe - have offered on what the ocean means and how their views helped shape the way many Americans relate to the seas.Kroll argues that to truly know the ocean we first need to understand our own western frontier, showing how easily our popular infatuation with the continental wilderness - in the spirit of manifest destiny and its problematic legacy of conquest - has been transferred to the watery world.
