Description

Lakeside Classics Series.[#105] Barbary pirates raided European coasts and shipping for goods and slaves for centuries from their bases in North Africa. This book contains autobiographical narratives by three American sailors captured and held in Tripoli .This led to a counter attack in February 1804 by a small detachment of US Marines led by Stephen Decatur. There is an echo of the Barbary wars in the second line of the Marines Hymn. The Lakeside Press Classics series was started in 1903 by Thomas E. Donnelley, [who] believed that a simple book, dignified and well designed, would be an appropriate holiday gift. Beautifully printed on fine paper in a handsome green cloth covered boards, with gilt title and decorations. Small format nice gift volume.Still shrink wrapped.
