This account of a world voyage that began in spring 1844 has remained untold for over a century. Because the author's family preserved the Thomas journal, we can join the U.S.S. Constitution's commander Captain John "Madjack" Percival, officers, & crew & relive the experiences & events of over 30 ports of call during this two & one half year voyage. Constitution's duties in scientific exploration, medical research, her challenge as a gatherer of intelligence, & her role as an enforcer of the ban on international slave trade were vividly recorded by Thomas. This is far more than a logbook of information in outline form that the Navy officials of the day demanded. Thomas brings to life one of the most eventful voyages on one of the most famous ships of the nineteenth century. He takes the reader from the lookouts into the holds & from bow to stern with vivid pictures of a great sailing warship underway. Editor Alan B. Flanders served on history faculty at Old Dominion University & Christopher Newport College in Newport News, Virginia. He is presently Director of Public Affairs, Training Command, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, Norfolk, Virginia. To order direct, Contact Brandylane Publishers at 1-800-553-6922.
