Other Forester Books

Post by Astrodene on Tue 21 Oct 2008, 14:07

The Hornblower pages on the website were among the first I added to my old homepage site years ago. I didn't really look into the author. Have now had a look and he seems to have a lot of books but not all in the age of sail (land based & WWII ones).

So far I've found
Arrow Factual books: 'The Naval War of 1812' (first published as 'The age of fighting sail'), 'The Barbary Pirates' and 'The Adventures of John Wetherell.'
Arrow Fiction books: 'The Captain from Connecticut' (set in 1812) and 'To the Indies' about a Columbus voyage.

Does anyone know of any other age of sail based works he has written?

I'll look into it and let you know what I find, sir. Pardon my saying, but thus far, I own every early copy of Forrester's work that I can get my greedy little hands on. Both of the aforementioned works are wonderful, though 'Age of Fighting Sail' seemed lackluster in comparision to his other factual works.

Though, I'll begin looking into other works of Mr. Forrester and I'll report back with my findings.

I'm reading Captain From Connecticut now and it's a cracking good read.
