It does not appear that they despise Cook as a man, but more of what he stood for, and what his exploration meant for the native culture. Both groups remember Captain Cook, oftentimes in a negative light.
He interviews Maori people in New Zealand and Aborigines in Australia, asking them what memories their people have of Cook and his men. His journalistic style brings in great aspects of history, anthropology, and language. He wanted a feel for the life or a seaman, and he sure gets it!! Next he sets off to Australia and New Zealand. Retracing Captain Cook's three voyages, relying heavily on the diaires of Cook himself, Horwitz decides to take a short trip to the Pacific Northwest to sail for 10 days in a replica of Cook's ship. you can see this in the text rubbing off on those around him, as seen in Roger, his companion on many of his "Cook" travels.
Horwitz's urge to learn all he could about the man and his work is infectious. history books generally gloss over his voyages, even though he explored an area that encompasses nearly 1/3 of the globe.
