"On 17 December 1814, Captain Charles Stewart slipped past the Royal Navy's blockade of Boston and sailed his ship on a sweep through the Atlantic Ocean, capturing merchantmen as he went. His capture of HMS Cyane and HMS Levant off the Madeira Islands was a spectacular success." "Humphreys was fortunate to be a crew member during the Constitution's most successful war cruise towards the end of the War of 1812. His eyewitness account is as fresh today as it was when he wrote it, soon after the great ship tied up in Boston to the cheers of its welcoming citizens. The fledgling Republic and her new navy had endured the trial of war with the Constitution bringing back honor and a new self-confidence to the embattled nation."--BOOK JACKET.

U. S. S. Constitution's Finest Fight, 1815: The Journal of Acting Chaplain Assheton Humphreys, U. S. Navy
I'm really excited that our book group chose a local author and that we'll get to have him join us at our meeting. I found the book to be well-paced with excellent dialogue. In contrast to "Matterhorn," which was written in Marine, the military terminology in this book added texture without making the meaning impenetrable.
I would have loved a little more about his growing up and his parents, and perhaps how the experience affected the arc of his life.
All in all, a really important perspective in a well-written, accessible book.
