(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Michael McCurdy. Formatted as a multi-part letter written while he was a prisoner of the British in the War of 1812, this account of the early career of David Farragut compels attention. Initially a little confusing because of numerous flashbacks, the imagined letter offers anecdotes and woodcut illustrations showing the assumption of command by the twelve-year-old American captain and future admiral. Bib., glos.
Reviewer: Frieda F. Bostian
