Frigates and foremasts : the North American Squadron in Nova Scotia waters, 1745-1815
"The first comprehensive study of naval operations involving North American squadrons in Nova Scotia waters. Frigates and Foremasts offers a masterful analysis of the motives behind the deployment of Royal Navy vessels between 1745 and 1815, and the navy's role in the Western Atlantic." "Gwyn's brilliant evocation of people and events, and the scholarship he brings to bear on the subject, makes Frigates and Foremasts a uniquely authoritative history. Wonderfully readable, it will attract both the serious naval historian and the general reader interested in the "why and what" of naval history on North America's eastern seaboard."--Jacket
