Description

Thirty Years From Home; or, a Voice From the Main Deck - Being the Experience of Samuel Leech

Narratives of service, a century ago, written by private soldiers, are rare, but such by common sailors are almost unknown. Samuel Leechs narrative Thirty Years from Home, a voice from the Main-Deck is a unique book, and now scarce. It is a valuable contribution to our history, giving a sailors experience in both British and American navies, and being the sole account by a British seaman of the capture of the Macedonian by the United States, in 1812. The revelations he makes of the cruel treatment of their men by British naval officers are unfortunately matched by the similar account of life on the same frigate United States, then under command of Captain Claret in 1843-44, given by Herman Melville in his remarkable book White Jacket, or the World in a Man of War. Though he is writing of an era thirty years later than Leechs, the picture is equally distressing. Leech also gives almost as bad a character to Captain David Porter (father of the late Admiral David D. Porter) as to the British tyrants. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
