Description:

(Paperback version) American Bravery is a reprint of a book with a like title first published in 1819. This current edition is meant to be used as a means to reintroduce and educate a new generation, from both sides of the Atlantic ocean, about a unique part of their heritage.

Family geneologists, Tall Ship enthusiasts, and nautical historians will enjoy this book. American Bravery provides detailed accounts of Tall Ship battles between American Naval forces, augmented with Privateers, and the British Naval Fleet or merchant vessels. Some battles were mere skirmishes, while many others were considerably more fierce, and with some ending in a gentlemanly manner.

If you like reading about Tall Ship battles on the High Seas,or interested in finding a family connection to the War of 1812, this book will be a wonderful addition to your library.

If you are British, please do have your best thick-skin on as you read this! Although I cannot comment on anything beyond this preview, this does begin with a republishing of a stirring preface of presumably a similar tale from 1819. It is an act of supreme stubbornly-proud defiance, but, considering the events that preceded, was undoubteldy justified, any right minded person would have to acknowledge this. But as the book progresses we are promised tales of heroism and bravery from all sides, and as was often the case, ( although by no means the norm )instances of gentlemanly conduct and high manners, mainly on the High Seas, and again centering on the US / British conflicts. If the preface is typical, then the book itself will both grip you and entertain you in equal measure.
