Easby Moor has a monument to Captain Cook and can be seen (with binoculars) from where we live.
He's still a bit of a local hero, his life taught in schools; people of a certain age know DCI Morse was named after his ship.I'll endeavour to get the book
@AndyD I hadn’t realized that Cook’s last voyage was really about the Northwest Passage; I only knew that he was killed in Hawaii (we spend time in Hawaii most Decembers).
I worked in a salmon cannery on Kodiak Island, Alaska, which paid for university. Long hours. But the descriptions of Alaska in The Wide Wide Sea brought it all back to me!

Too much news.

"The American Heritage History of The Law In America" by Bernard Schwartz (1974)
And as soon as I see my friend, which should be in the next week or so, I'll be reading her new book, "Propaganda Girls."

Please give Lisa a hug from me. She is amazing.

Still waiting for my library to supply the Captain Cook book...
Reading these:
The Dorothy Wordsworth (bought) is a keeper; after a brief interesting historical introduction, her 225 year old diary is immediate and lyrical - after all she was her brothers inspiration, muse and recorder. And has artwork throughout.
Censoring Victoria is quite academic (library book borrowed 9 times in 11 years).
30 pages in, I may skip through to the end. -
Lonesome Dove.
