Publisher's Note
Riveting, informative, and entertaining accounts from the great age of sail, these eyewitness stories--told by actual participants--range from slices of life at sea to events of great historical significance, including epic battles such as those of Cape St. Vincent and Trafalgar, and the death of Nelson. 9 maps. The phenomenal success of Patrick O'Brian's seafaring novels has spawned a great hunger for more reading material on the Royal Navy and the Napoleonic Wars. Dean King has combed through mountains of primary-source material and has selected the most riveting, informative, and entertaining accounts from the great age of sail. His explorations have, in the words of Douglas Day, C. W. Barrett Professor of English at the University of Virginia, "yielded a collection of narratives that are just as exciting as the marvelous Aubrey--Maturin novels of Patrick O'Brian." Told by actual participants, the eyewitness stories range from slices of life at sea to events of great historical significance, including epic battles such as those of Cape St. Vincent and Trafalgar, and the death of Nelson. Every Man Will Do His Duty is sure to delight legions of seafaring adventure fans.
Industry reviews
Readers of Patrick O'Brian and C.S. Forester will enjoy this collection of contemporary accounts about life in the Royal Navy from 1793 to 1815, many of which form the basis of the fiction series of both writers. Editors King and Hattendorf, whose previous works, Sea of Words and Harbors and High Seas (both Holt, 1996), are commendable companion volumes to O'Brian's Aubrey/Maturin novels, have gathered together the best accounts from the period and presented them in chronological order. With just enough narrative to link the passages, the book moves smoothly from chapter to chapter. Many selections have been long out of print; among the best are William Dillon's "Of the Glorious First of June," Thomas Cochrane's "Cruise of the Speedy," and William Beatty's "Death of Lord Nelson." Recommended for all collections. David Lee Poremba, Detroit P.L. Ives
