Quotes:
One Sloop and Slow Match is a captivating and spellbinding masterpiece. The reader is
transported back to a time when Great Britain’s naval forces were locked in a desperate
struggle with the United States’ rag tag fleet of commandeered sloops and schooners for
dominance of North America’s Great Lakes region. James Spurr’s uncompromising
attention to detail vividly captures the personal sacrifice and hardships endured by those
involved in the dramatic maritime events that ultimately changed the territorial
boundaries of our nations Inland Seas.
