I love when 1600s captains would write about terrible things on their journeys, but with such eloquent language. Like the old journal entries on cannibalism in New Zealand, describing how the bones were used so daintily.
Isn't it good?? These people were half starving and they still wrote really beautifully. I have some good accounts about chasing down a dog that are terrifying.
