Reproduction of the original: A New Voyage Round the World by Otto Von Kotzebue

An account of the scientifically minded pirate's journey around the world offers insight into seventeenth-century buccaneer's life and describes his twelve-year tour during which Dampier visited the Galapagos and became the first Englishman to map parts of Australia and New Guinea. Original.

"A New Voyage Round the World in the Years 1823 to 1826 - I" from Otto von Kotzebue. German navigator in Russian service (1787-1846).

"Kotzebue is now considered one of the most important Russian explorers of the Pacific. The first English edition of this important voyage appeared two years after its first publication in Russian in 1828. It contained "reliable evidence of the potential strategic and economic value of the Northwest region of North America, as well as indicating a growing Russian presence in this area, which alarmed some Englishmen" (Hill). Kotzebue's second voyage to the Pacific, made eight years after his highly successful first voyage, combined scientific exploration and discovery with the carrying of cargo to Kamchatka and furthering the interests of the Russian American Fur Company in Alaska and on the Northwest Coast. The winter of 1824 was spent in California and Hawaii, and the narrative provides an extensive account of the Fort Ross settlement, as well as a description of San Francisco Bay. The expedition also visited Brazil, Chile, the Society Islands, Pitcairn, Micronesia, and Alaska."--Abebooks website.
