Beschreibung

George W. Sherman. Morristown, New Jersey. 1902. 247 pages. Book is tight and clean. Binding and hinges are strong. The only flaw associated with this book is rubbing to cloth; noticeably on backstrip shoulder causing cloth to disappear up along backstrip edge. This has no affect on binding as it remains strong; and sound. Gilt titles rubbed along backstrip. A tight, clean copy of the rare original; a book about Captain Jeremiah O'Brien; the namesake of 6 US vessels; and former captain of the Massachusetts State Navy. Preceding its formation; and also that of the continental Navy, he commanded the sloop Unity when he captured the British armed schooner HMS Margaretta in the Battle of Machias, considered the first naval battle of the American Revolutionary War. He also led the first American attack on Nova Scotia in the Raid on St. John in 1775. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 001691
