An invaluable record of the early days of American sailing ships
Coggeshall, the author of this work, is both well known and highly
regarded by those interested in chronicles of the great days of
sail during the early nineteenth century. Coggeshall's two volume
work of his voyages as a crewman and officer of American schooners
and his experiences with the navy of the United States are vital
reading and are published by Leonaur in hard and soft cover
editions. This book concerns the American privateers-a subject the
author knew well by close personal experience. Coggeshall commanded
two letters-of-marque during the War of 1812-David Porter and Leo.
In this history he has attempted to embrace the fortunes of every
ship, crew and commander and to describe the many battles at sea
and the taking of 'prizes' that typified this engrossing conflict
between the emergent American nation and the British.
