Nicholas Young, a young orphan, sailed with James Cook in 1768 and
died in Batavia over two years later. Or did he...? Legacies
explores the notion that 'Young Nick' did not perish from malaria,
but survived to sail with Cook two more times before returning to
England. A now dashing man-of-the-world, he falls in love but is
compelled to leave London. He then winds up in Africa, Cape Town,
where he builds a new life. This new life includes a growing family
which over fifty years extends to the Mediterranean, the Arctic,
Britain and Canada. In the process, the Young family also mixes
with numerous historical figures from Sir Joseph Banks and Mary
Wollstonecraft to Sir John Franklin and Alexander von Humboldt.
