Abstract: Brief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
This source is the journal of the surgeon aboard the
RESOLUTION, one of the ships of Captain James Cook. The journal covers approximately two
months in 1777 spent at Tonga, principally at the islands of Tongatapu, Nomuka, and Eua.
Anderson seems to have been a very careful and accurate observer. In addition to the
accounts of daily activities, there are quite detailed observations on a number of
topics, such as geography, flora, fauna, physical anthropology, diseases, dress,
domestic life, architecture, canoes, material culture, food, relationships between the
sexes, funeral customs, religion, political structure, international relations, and
language.
