I received this wonderful book in my mailbox today. And it was a gift from @dimestorehobby I thank you from the bottom of my heart for it. It really is a very good book. Can't wait to read it.
Got some new stuff for my researches, from a lovely supporter who wants to stay anonymous - But, thank you very much my friend, i appreciate it very much.
A huge thank you to the dear nonny who sent me the book about the Belgica Expedition.
In general, a huge thank you to everyone who supports my work here, be it by following, liking, reblogging or by tipping and or books.
You are great - I love you all very much.
Great book and first-hand account - the reason why i wasn't here is much and well some private problems
John Frost’s ‘The Book of the Navy’ is a collection of historical sketches of notable American Naval Battles. It includes information on the American Revolution, French War of 1798, War with Tripoli, War of 1812, Cruise of the Essex, Perry’s Victory on Lake Erie, War with Algiers in 1815, and more.
This 1846 edition includes an appendix of Naval Anecdotes, Naval and Patriotic Songs, a Chronological table, and numerous engravings by William Croome and steel portraits of Navy Commanders throughout.
A very interesting magazine about caricatures and their meaning in and for the Royal Navy. So if you are interested you should buy it it is really good.
