"Mad Jack": The Biography of Captain John Percival, USN, 1779-1862 Long, David F.

A respected writer of naval history, David Long is most qualified to write this first biography of "Mad Jack," a legend in the U.S. Navy. Using family accounts and primary materials, Long recounts the 40-year career of an eccentric, maverick naval officer and in doing so gives the low-down on how the Navy worked in its early years. Anyone interested in 18th and 19th century military history will find this engrossing reading.
