Read by Daniel Gerroll.
From the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author of 'Confederates In The Attic' comes a vivid, often hilarious retracing of the voyages of Captain James Cook, the British farmboy who drew the map of the modern world.
Retracing and reliving Cook's historic voyages, Horwitz describes the famed captain's encounters with Aborigines in Australia, Antarctic icebergs, and finally, hostile natives in Hawaii, where Cook was killed.
With amusing results, he conjures Cook's nautical way of life by signing on as a working crewman aboard a present-day replica of Cook's ship the "Endeavour".
