(This book is about Colonial Papua and the tradition of exploration. It is at once a detailed ethnographic and
historical analysis of one of the final modern-day experiences of first-culture contact, a classic example of
historical geography, and an extraordinary tale of exploration, imperial arrogance, bloodshed, suffering, courage, and near disaster)
(Keywords: Exploration, Pacific, Melanesia, New Guinea, Purari, Waga Furari, Kewa, Kikori).
