American Sailors.

New York Times 100 years ago today, October 20, 1912:
    Some of the most stirring stories of bravery in the annals of warfare are contained in "Brave Deeds of American Sailors," by Robert B. Duncan. They are good old fighting tales told in a good old vigorous way, with a joy in the narrative. Several little-known incidents are recalled to the light, as that exploit of the O'Briens of Machias, the first naval stroke of the Revolution. The neglect of the exploits of Commodore Barry, the Father of the American Navy, is hard to understand; but all that is included is gripping and worth while. (George W. Jacobs & Co.)
