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

4.0

Not quite as engaging or funny as Confederates in the Attic, but then I didn't have an existing interest in the topic.
Still, Horwitz does what he does best--explore history and its ripple effects to the prsent. His passages on sailing on a replica Endeavor were amazing. Before reading, I knew next to nothing about Cook, and now I'm in awe of the miles traveled and the places discovered--and what that meant to native cultures. Worth checking out.
