This volume offers everything of value that is still extant relating to the first voyage of the Columbia and the Washington, 1787-1790, and the second voyage of the Columbia, 1790-1893. The pre-eminent source on the Columbia's voyages, this book includes John Boit's log, Robert Haswell's first and second logs, and John Hoskins' narrative.

—The Two Remarkable Voyages of the Columbia Rediviva to the Pacific Northwest Coast in the last decades of the eighteenth century come to life in the logs and narratives of people who were there: Robert Haswell, second officer on the Columbia's first voyage and first officer on second voyage; John Box Hoskins, the ship's clerk on the second voyage; and John Boit, the fifth mate on the second voyage. Enriched by other documents pertaining to the voyages - Congressional records, letters, and instructions - and by Frederic William Howay's brilliant annotation, these materials illuminate for the modern reader the epochal journeys of the Columbia.

*This North Pacific Studies Series edition of Voyages of the Columbia is photographically reproduced from the original book, published by the Massachusetts Historical Society in 1941.
