Blue Latitudes: Boldly Going Where Captain Cook Has Gone Before by Tony Horwitz

3.0

An intrepid reporter and his rough-around-the edges buddy set off to retrace the three voyages of Captain Cook around the world. Some sections dragged on for too long, but the anecdotes were entertaining, and the book made a valiant attempt to tie together the various myths and truths about Captain Cook's life and times. Historical passages were interwoven with modern-day observations of post-contact/post-colonial life throughout the South Pacific and up through the Alaskan peninsula.
