Description

William S. Dudley (ed); Michael J. Crawford (ed). In this volume, a multi-disciplinary group of distinguished scholars explores the rich diversity of the early republic’s seafaring heritage. The subjects treated include: smuggling in New England; the American model for the China trade; the undeclared naval war with France; the controversial attack by an American warship on a British merchantman shortly after the end of the War of 1812; & adjudicating the slave trade. There is a separate chapter on James Fenimore Cooper & the Birth of American Maritime Experience. This unique volume constitutes a powerful statement about the current strength & potential of early American naval & maritime studies. Black & white illustrations.
