""Joshua Barney: A Forgotten Hero of Blue Water"" is a historical biography written by Ralph D. Paine. The book tells the story of Joshua Barney, a naval hero who fought in the American Revolution and the War of 1812. Despite his significant contributions to American naval history, Barney has largely been forgotten by modern society. Paine seeks to rectify this by providing a detailed account of Barney's life and achievements. The book covers Barney's early life in Maryland, his experiences as a privateer during the Revolution, and his service in the United States Navy during the War of 1812. It also explores Barney's personal life, including his relationships with his family and his struggles with financial difficulties. Through Paine's vivid storytelling and meticulous research, readers will gain a deeper understanding of Barney's legacy and the important role he played in shaping American naval history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
