Synopsis

British naval flag admiral Thomas Cochrane—Lord Cochrane—was one of the most daring captain during the Napoleonic Wars. Nicknamed the “Sea Wolf” by Napoleon himself, Cochrane was forced to resign his commission after taking part in financial fraud. Lord Cochrane’s days of daring were not finished as he headed to South America where he led the Chilean and Brazilian navies. It is this period that Henty uses as a backdrop for With Cochrane the Dautless. In this yarn of adventure on the high seas and in South America, a young man, Stephen, serves with Lord Cochrane as he shapes the future of an entire continent. Alacrity Press is proud to make this G.A. Henty classic, available to a new generation of readers.
