Catywampus: is a continuation of the story begun in Admiral's Son
General's Daughter and is a parallel to Jigsaw. This book describes
in vivid detail what may have occurred in the United States
Military between 1896 and 1906 during the McKinley and Roosevelt
Presidential administrations. The narration is by the grandson of a
career naval officer, born in Beaufort, South Carolina. He will
serve as a cadet in Annapolis and as a member of the elite
submarine commanders in the United States Navy. The historical
events of 1896 through 1906 are carefully followed. The imagination
of the author provides rich characters in powerful settings from
the torpedo proving grounds in Newport, Rhode Island to the jungles
of Central America when he joins his brother on a navy manhunt of
killers. The love story between a man and a woman is woven
throughout the book when the grandson graduates from the naval
academy and marries his childhood sweetheart. He is unaware that
his father and his Uncle Theodore Roosevelt have decided to tap his
knowledge of modern submarines and his photographic memory to
become one of this countries most successful counter intelligence
officers. Scenes are set carefully with attention to accurate
research of the low country of South Carolina as well as our
Nation's Capital circa 1896 -1906. The second edition of People's
Standard History of the United States written by Edward S. Ellis
and published in 1906 by Western Book Syndicate and copyrighted by
the Woolfall Company have provided background materials, maps of
the period and needed information on how the federal government was
organized and functioned during this period of history
