The Wide Wide Sea with Hampton Sides

History lovers, this is for you. Hampton Sides will be in conversation with local author Dean King at the store. Registration required. Captain James Cook has been viewed by millions as both hero and villain, but his expeditions were enormously consequential. He was a peerless navigator and cartographer, a fearless and able naval captain, an embodiment of Enlightenment values and scientific acumen, and a figure ahead of his time. Hampton both illuminates the past and shows how events hundreds of years ago not only shaped our world but still resonate today.
