	Bobby Glen Cook #835
		Cook was tried before a jury in the 3rd Judicial District Court of Anderson County, Texas, for intentionally and knowingly causing the death of Edwin Earl Holder by shooting him with a firearm, while in the course of committing or attempting to commit robbery.
		Cook's petition for writ of habeas corpus in the state court was filed on Dec. 2, 1997, and the state court held an evidentiary hearing on Aug. 28, 1998.
		Cook, a ninth-grade dropout with an extensive criminal past, shot Holder with the victim’s own.22-caliber handgun while the man was asleep in a sleeping bag, the state argued during the trial.

		Captain James Cook, RN 1728 to 1779; a replica of the original statue in Whitby England by Sir John Tweed, RA.
		Cook was not a religious man, so he saw no harm in letting them think that way, if it meant that his crew would be treated with kindness.
		Then in the middle of a disastrous misunderstanding, they clubbed him to death, cut up his body and carried him off, thinking that even though he wasn’t a god, he was still a very potent man and therefore, even body parts would hold some charm.

	The Demise Of Captain Cook
		Cook had anchored off Kaua'i during the time of makahiki, a period of months set aside for the collection of taxes in the form of produce, crafts and other goods, while war was suspended and ceremonies and games were the order of the day.
		Cook was led to a heiau, the same rock temple called Hikiau that can be found at Kealakekua Bay today, to take part in an elaborate ceremony, at the conclusion of which he was made to bow to the ground and kiss an image of the war god Ku.
		Cook, with Lieutenant King and a marine, came down the beach to intervene, and the three Britishers set off in pursuit of the man with the tongs, but they were misled and laughed at by the Hawaiians.

	James Cook - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Cook surveyed the northwest stretch in 1763 and 1764, the south coast between the Burin Peninsula and Cape Ray in 1765 and 1766, and the west coast in 1767.
		Cook was commissioned as a Lieutenant and given command of HM Bark Endeavour, a Whitby collier vessel of the type he had begun his career with, and ideal in terms of storage capacity, strength and the shallow draught which were essential for extended voyages in reef-strewn oceans and archipelagos
		It is thought that Cook's return to Hawaii outside the season of worship for Lono, which was synonymous with 'peace', and thus in the season of 'war' (being dedicated to Kū, god of war) may have upset the equilibrium and fostered an atmosphere of resentment and aggression from the local population.

	Discovery repaints Cook's passive death - The Honolulu Advertiser - Hawaii's Newspaper
		This undated copy of the "Death of Cook" painting by John Cleveley, owned by the Honolulu Academy of Arts, shows Capt. James Cook turning his back on Hawaiians and signaling his troops to hold their fire.
		For years, most paintings and engravings of the event have depicted Cook trying to act as a peacemaker in his fatal 1779 encounter with Hawaiians at Kealakekua Bay, signaling his troops to hold fire while he is stabbed in the back.
		The discovery is unlikely to change scholarly opinion about Cook's relation to Pacific Islanders, but it does provide a fascinating glimpse into the way Western artists of the time tried to spin their version of the event to show Cook and other Europeans in a more favorable light.
