Abstract
The 1982 publication of the Resolution journal of Johann George Reinho ld Forster provided justification for his recognition as a scientist, and gave a remarkable insight into his character. It also included an account of an illness suffered by many of the sloop's crew, including Forster, after a period ashore at Queen Charlotte Sound. The symptoms of the illness were remarkably similar to those now clustered as the c hronic fatigue syndrome.
