- catalog abstract ""This comprehensive, chronological account shows the reader not only the naval and territorial consequences of the era but also the dangers along the way. It is the story of shipbuilding, the limits of sea power, and the men and women who succeeded in traversing unknown water and land. The author details such events as Commo. Arthur Sinclair's disastrous U.S. naval expedition to Lake Huron and Georgian Bay in 1814 and describes how British forces captured unsuspecting U.S. naval schooners. Supplemented with excellent maps and abundant illustrations, the text also provides information about hydrographic surveying and the search for useful naval bases. This book will appeal to everyone interested in the age of fighting sail, Native American history, and early American naval pursuits."--Jacket.".
