New York: The Macmillan Company, 1967. First Printing [Stated]. Hardcover. DJ is price clipped. DJ has some wear and soiling. Includes Introduction by Admiral E. M. Eller, Director of Naval History. Editor's Note, Journal of the First Cruise, and Journal of the Second Cruise. Also includes 9 illustrations (including two maps). The Journals of Two Cruises Aboard the Privateer Yankee are an exciting historical find. Written by a young, ardently romantic ship's clerk who signs himself "A Wanderer," they record the heady adventures of the American privateer Yankee on her first two voyages during the War of 1812. Only recently discovered among the possessions of a New England family, they are printed here for the first time. The author was listed on the Yankee manifest as Noah Jones but in all probability his real name was Noah Johnson, according to descendants. These historic journals bring vividly to life sea voyages that epitomized Yankee daring and skill, dedication to freedom, and Christian charity in dealing with conquered enemies. What life was like aboard a privateer and how these warships were manned, sailed, and deployed against the enemy is nowhere better illustrated than in these superb firsthand accounts. The private fleet of James De Wolf, which sailed under the flag of the American government in 1812, was most likely a key factor in the naval campaign of the war. De Wolf's ship, the Yankee, was possibly the most financially successful ship of the war. Privateers proved to be successful than their US Navy counterparts, claiming three-quarters of the 1600 British merchant ships taken during the war (although a third of these were recaptured prior to making landfall).

Avery Odelle Craven (August 12, 1885 – January 21, 1980) was an American historian who wrote extensively about the nineteenth-century United States, the American Civil War and Congressional Reconstruction from a then-revisionist viewpoint sympathetic to the Lost Cause as well as democratic failings during his own lifetime. Craven was a leader of the "revisionist" historians in the 1930s who said the Civil War was caused by a failure of democracy. Walter Johnson (June 27, 1915 – June 14, 1985) was a noted historian of the United States and a political scientist. Johnson earned his master’s degree in 1938 and his Ph.D. in History in 1941 from the University of Chicago. He was a political progressive who believed his generation had a special responsibility to democracy. Specializing in progressive politics, Johnson argued that the problems posed by WWII meant that there could be no division between his academic and political careers. He felt that his generation had a responsibility to democracy and that meant that the academic “ivory tower” could not stay isolated. More

Inca Garcilaso de la Vega (12 April 1539 – 23 April 1616), born Gómez Suárez de Figueroa and known as El Inca, was a chronicler and writer born in the Viceroyalty of Peru. He is considered the earliest-recorded mestizo in the history of the Americas. Sailing to Spain at 21, he was educated informally there, where he lived and worked the rest of his life. The natural son of a Spanish conquistador and an Inca noblewoman born in the early years of the conquest, he is known primarily for his chronicles of Inca history, culture, and society. His work was widely read in Europe, influential and well received. It was the first literature by an author born in the Americas to enter the western canon. After his father's death in 1559, Vega moved to Spain in 1561. His paternal uncle became a protector, and he lived in Spain for the rest of his life, where he wrote an account of De Soto's expedition in Florida. De la Vega entered Spanish military service in 1570 and fought in the Alpujarras against the Moors after the Morisco Revolt. He received the rank of captain for his services to the Crown. He wrote from an important perspective, as his maternal family were the ruling Inca. More
