Voyage Of The U. S. Exploring Squadron, Commanded By Captain Charles Wilkes is a historical book written by John Stilwell Jenkins in 1850. The book is a detailed account of the United States Exploring Expedition, also known as the Wilkes Expedition, which was a four-year naval expedition led by Captain Charles Wilkes from 1838 to 1842. The expedition aimed to explore and map the Pacific Ocean and its surrounding areas, including Antarctica, and to gather scientific and cultural information.Jenkins' book provides a comprehensive narrative of the expedition, including descriptions of the various locations visited, the people encountered, and the scientific discoveries made. The book is divided into two volumes, with the first volume focusing on the expedition's journey through the Pacific and the second volume detailing the expedition's exploration of Antarctica.In addition to the historical account, Jenkins also includes illustrations and maps to help readers visualize the expedition's discoveries and travels. The book provides a valuable insight into the early exploration of the Pacific and Antarctica and is considered an important historical document.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
