SuitabookQuest of Captain Cook
Millicent E. Selsam
- Reading
- Use the contents headings to follow the three voyages, pausing at each to locate the places on a map and distinguish charting, searching and claiming.
- Themes
- Exploration and imperial claims: The voyages include mapping coastlines and claiming New Zealand and eastern Australia for the British crown. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Worth knowing
- If that framing matters to your family, you could read those passages together and discuss whose perspectives are foregrounded.
