Synopsis

Recounting daring lives and historic scenes from a pivotal era

This issue gathers vivid profiles of American soldiers of fortune and their adventures, from Eastern exploits in China to frontier-style action in India and the early days of printing credits for notable figures. It also includes a lively account of George Washington’s New England tour, with details of his harbor visit, churchgoing, and fishing trip, plus archival documents and reflections on 19th-century writers like Thoreau.

This collection offers:
  • Biographical sketches of Ward, Murray, and Boyd, detailing their bold moves, loyalties, and the costs of their choices.
  • An intimate look at Washington’s Portsmouth visit, including his movements, church attendances, harbor excursions, and local lore.
  • Selected original documents and letters that illuminate perspectives on Civil War leadership and 19th-century literary life.
Ideal for readers who enjoy historical biographies, early American history, and primary-source glimpses into how past figures shaped their times.
