James Spurr continues the saga of two strong-willed men, related through
marriage, bound by friendship, separated by war, as they face the challenge
of battle on the Great Lakes during the War of 1812.
In One Sloop and Slow Match Captain William Lee and Oliver Williams
become embroiled in the cauldrons of the greatest battles to ever take place
on the inland seas. Join them and a young Master Commandant Perry,
initially in command of only tiny gunboats, as the struggle with Great Britain
intensifies into a grueling game of wits, bloodshed and perseverance, and
Perry rises to become one of our greatest American Heroes.
“We have met the enemy. . .”
From the Chicago Massacre to the blockade of U.S. Naval forces at Presque
Isle on Lake Erie, James Spurr recreates the action with unerring historical
accuracy while conveying the emotion of perilous uncertainty.
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.
