Hardback. Condizione: Good. Captain Hale's Covenant is a family saga about Adam Hale, an American Revolutionary War blockade runner who, with his sons, builds a fortune in trade with France, England, and Jamaica during the Federal Period (1783-1822), when American captains dominated the seas. The turbulent backdrop is the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic era, featuring Barbary pirates, press gangs, Regency balls, privateers, a slave uprising, duels, the Peninsular Campaign, and pitched naval battles. Thomas E. Crocker's narrative explores how the family patriarch struggles to achieve a meaningful, personal commitment of civic duty to his country, all the while trying to reconcile evil in the world with an omniscient and loving God. It tells how Americans ventured into the unknown in ships, never knowing if they would come back or what rewards they might reap. It is a story of how every generation struggles. It is the American Experience based on a true story.…

Book is clean with a Demco polyfit vinyl cover protecting the dust jacket and the book. In January 1755, Major General Edward Braddock was sent by Great Britain on a mission to drive France once and for all from the New World. Accompanied by the largest armed expeditionary force ever sent to North America, Braddock's primary target was the Forks of the Ohio, where he planned to seize Fort Duquesne and then march north into Canada. After landing in Alexandria, Virginia, and organizing his troops and supply chain, Braddock and his expedition began its nearly 250-mile trek, heroically cutting through uncharted wilderness, fording rivers, and scaling the Appalachian mountains, all while hauling baggage and heavy artillery. Braddock was joined on this epic mission by a young Virginia colonel, George Washington, and others who would later play major roles in the American Revolution, including Horatio Gates, Thomas Gage, and Charles Lee; among those driving the expedition's wagons were Daniel Boone and Daniel Morgan. Having withstood the harsh frontier and finally marching upon Fort Duquesne on a hot July morning, Braddock's exhausted column was ambushed by a combined French and Indian force. Over two-thirds of Braddock's British and colonial troops were killed or wounded, including Braddock himself, struck by a bullet in the chest while attempting to rally his disoriented troops. George Washington miraculously escaped harm despite four bullet holes through his clothing. With this battle, North America became the greatest stake in the global war between France and Great Britain. Crocker tells the riveting story of one of the most important events in colonial America. Not only did Braddock's expedition have a profound impact on American political and military developments, this fateful march laid the foundation for the National Pike, the major road for westward expansion, launched the career of George Washington, and sowed the seeds of dissent between England and its colonies that would ultimately lead to the American Revolution.…

First Edition. Text clean and secure in original red binding in very nice dustjacket. Front board and front panel of dustjacket have crease at right upper corner. The never-before told story of how Napoleon's top brass escaped to America after Waterloo. Empire's Eagles is colorful, new, and an effectively unknown chapter in American history. At its center is the mystery of whether Napoleon's "Bravest of the Brave, " Marshal Ney, cheated a firing squad to escape under an alias and reinvent himself in America. At sunset on June 18, 1815 Napoleon Bonaparte was in desperate flight from the battlefield at Waterloo. Racing to reach Paris, he abandoned on the road his armored coach and Imperial necessaire containing a fortune in precious gems and cash. Would he stand and fight again or flee to the United States of America? On the run and with his options dwindling by the day, Napoleon came within one hour of secretly slipping to America on a Baltimore privateer with the active collusion of the United States consul in Bordeaux. Empire's Eagles tells the details of this story for the first time ever .…
