The Fight for a Free Sea: A Chronicle of the War of 1812

By Ralph Delahaye Paine

Book Overview

The War of 1812, like the American Revolution, was a valiant contest for survival on the part of the spirit of freedom. It was essentially akin to the world-wide struggle of a century later, when sons of the old foemen of 1812--sons of the painted Indians and of the Kentucky pioneers in fringed buckskins, sons of the New Hampshire ploughboys clad in homespun, sons of the Canadian militia and the red-coated regulars of the British line, sons of the tarry seamen of the Constitution and the Guerrie--stood side by side as brothers in arms to save from brutal obliteration the same spirit of freedom.
