Beschreibung

In "Captain John Smith," Charles Dudley Warner presents a biographical narrative that deftly intertwines historical analysis with rich storytelling, vividly depicting the life of one of the most controversial figures of early American history. Warner's prose, marked by its clarity and engaging style, invites readers into a world of exploration, survival, and the complex interactions between Native Americans and European settlers. The book captures not only Smith's adventures in the New World but also the broader cultural and political intersections of the early 17th century, illustrating how individual experiences inform our understanding of American identity. Charles Dudley Warner, an American author and journalist, was deeply influenced by the cultural currents of his time, including the nationalistic fervor and the Romantic idealism of exploration. As a contemporary of Mark Twain, Warner's literary circle allowed him to engage creatively with themes of adventure and morality. His background in journalism provided him with the skills to critically assess information, which is reflected in his balanced portrayal of Smith's life, encompassing both his achievements and failings. This book is an illuminating read for anyone interested in American history, literature, or the dynamics of colonialism. Warner's nuanced portrayal transforms Captain John Smith from a mere historical figure into a compelling human being, making this a vital addition to the shelf of both history enthusiasts and literary scholars alike.

    Thomas Burke was born Sydney Thomas Burke on November 29th, 1886 in Eltham, London (at the time it was part of Kent). 
    An author in the early years of the 20th Century Burke brought his skills of pen and eye to parts of London, specifically the Limehouse district of the East End, to write with drive and vigour about the characters he met and the places that he knew.  Whether he turned that material into fiction or non-fiction the words seep quality.  His publications ranged from these wonderful vignettes of down-at-heel London to writings on homosexuality and the English Countryside. 
    Thomas Burke died in the Homeopathic Hospital in Queens Square, Bloomsbury on 22 September 1945.

    Plenty of unusual characters came to the colonies to participate in the war, with many sporting dubious titles such as the Baron de Kalb, but perhaps none arrived in a more unique way than John Paul Jones, a Scottish sailor who had plenty of experience with British ships before a controversial row on one ship compelled him to flee to the colonies in 1775. As it turned out, he was arriving in Virginia just in time for more fighting, this time against the British. 
    	Despite his lofty sobriquet, Jones constantly found himself frustrated by people and events beyond his control during the Revolution, and it would take years before the aggressive commander could take the fight to the British. Through a murky system involving French ships, and an even murkier chain of events, Jones engaged the British in battle around the British Isles, and his aggression became the stuff of legend. While the British accused him of being a pirate, he was feted by the Americans and French during the war before joining the Russian navy after the war.  
    	Americans had few things to celebrate during the War of 1812, and fighting on the frontier against the British and their native allies didn’t go any better than the conflict did in other theaters, but one of the only major victories the Americans won came at the Battle of Lake Erie in September 1813. That action made Oliver Hazard Perry, a veteran of the Barbary Wars and commander of the USS Lawrence, a legend whose name has endured for over 200 years. Perry was so instrumental in the victory that British historian C.S. Forester noted “it was as fortunate for the Americans that the Lawrence still possessed a boat that would float, as it was that Perry was not hit." As one of the biggest naval battles of the war, the results meant that America maintained control of Lake Erie, and for his part, Perry would forever be remembered as the “Hero of Lake Erie.”
