Privateers of the Revolution (Hardcover)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days
|
A revelatory narrative of the 538 Pennsylvania and New Jersey
privateers, privately owned ships of war some called pirates.
Manned by over 18,000 men, these privateers influenced the fight
for American independence. From the halls of Congress to the rough
waterfronts of Delaware River and Bay to the remote privateering
ports of the New Jersey coast and into the Atlantic, a stirring
portrait emerges of seaborne raiders, battles, and derring-do, as
well as incredible escapes from the great British prison ships
"vulgarly called Hell," where more than 11,000 men perished. A work
40 years in the making extracted from archives in both Europe and
America, it is a tale unrivaled by any Hollywood fiction.
