Richard V. Simpson is a native Rhode Islander and a graphic designer by trade. After retiring from a 29-year Federal Civil Service career, he became an antique dealer and a nonfiction writer. His in-depth knowledge of antique glass and porcelain and his specialty of glass paperweights encouraged him to write for the national Antiques and Collecting Magazine which published 85 of his articles. As his home town's defacto historian he began writing histories of Bristol and Bristol related subjects. He has written five books about the America's Cup yachts and this is his third book with a military subject.
