In 1779 when William Brown was a fourteen-year-old midshipman on the Frigate Apollo, a French sharp-shooter's musket ball passed through the brim of his hat but injured only his left hand. Many years later, on the deck of HMS Victory, Admiral Lord Nelson would not be so fortunate when a French sharp shooter identified him. One day Alastair Brown was shown a copy of Sherwin's etching, The Death of Lord Robert Manners, by a cousin who was able to identify William Brown as the midshipman kneeling at the foot of the bed. This chance encounter greatly increased the author's interest in his ancestor's naval career. William remained a midshipman for the five years of peace following that battle until his pursuit of a commission led him to join William Bligh on the Bounty. Perhaps fortunately, he was transferred to another ship by the First Lord of the Admiralty, shortly before the Bounty sailed. In 1805, now commanding the 74-gun Ajax, William received a request from Nelson that Ajax accompany Victory to join the blockade of Cadiz. However, Nelson later asked him to accompany Admiral Calder back to England for Calder's court martial and as a result William missed the Battle of Trafalgar by a few days. William Brown then attended Nelson's funeral before being sent to Malta as the first Commissioner for the Royal Navy there. He was Commander-in-Chief at Jamaica when he died there of yellow fever in 1814. Not just a detailed account of the life of an admiral who served at the time of Nelson, the book contains many fascinating insights into life in the Georgian navy and Georgian society at large. AUTHOR: Alastair Brown is a retired surgeon and lives in Sydney. He became interested in the life of his great-great-grandfather, Rear Admiral William Brown (1764-1814) after a cousin sent him a copy of a fine mimiature portrait of the Admiral. After he retired Alastair began to gather together the remaining family papers and embarked on the task of researching William's whole career. When he had accumulated a large trove of previously unpublished information, he decided to write a book. His sources of information have been fully annotated.

Sailor in the White House, first published in 1962 as White House Sailor, is author William Rigdon’s fascinating account of his 11 years of personal service to Presidents Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower. As Rigdon states “with two of the three Presidents under whom I served, I was to make at least forty trips away from Washington working as their secretary, mess officer, mailman, baggageman, banker, storekeeper, photographer, custodian of secret files, and keeper of official logs. I went with Roosevelt to Cairo, Teheran, Great Bitter Lake, Yalta, both Quebec conferences, Honolulu, and the Aleutians. I was with him, too, on his inspection and political trips within the United States, on his mysterious fishing vacation to Georgian Bay in Canada, at Bernard Baruch’s place in South Carolina where the President went to recuperate after Teheran. And there were many weekends at Hyde Park and trips to Shangri-La, the President’s mountain hideaway in the Maryland mountains. On these and other occasions I saw close-up such famous figures as Prime Minister Churchill, Generalissimo Stalin, King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, Prime Minister Jan Christian Smuts of South Africa, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, Generals Eisenhower and MacArthur, and many others. Also, on these trips away from Washington I served Harry Hopkins as secretary, when my duties with the President allowed. When President Truman took over I served him exactly as I had served President Roosevelt, going in his party to the Berlin Conference, where he met with Generalissimo Stalin, Prime Minister Churchill, and his successor Prime Minister Clement Attlee. I was with him en route home when he received King George VI in the cruiser Augusta, and in mid-Atlantic when he announced the dropping of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima.” Included are 8 pages of photographs.
