Rovings in the Pacific from 1837 to 1849 : with a glance at California, by a merchant

documentary heritage
  • Kupu whakaahua

    The author visited the Bay of Islands, Auckland, New Zealand, the Hawaiian Islands, Pitcairn Island, the Philippines, and others. He also travelled in California, and is critical of the California lifestyle during the height of the gold rush. Hill calls this narrative "a rather spirited one of adventure in almost every island of the Pacific, and an excellent account of the troubles in Tahiti and its annexation by the French.

    " Pages 293-96 in volume one contain a critique of Herman Melville's Omoo, Typee and Mardi describing their author as "a most reckless loafer." The plates show the Valley of Oponohu, the Papeeti harbor, Moorea island, and the native church on Moorea.
