Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book exquisitely details the life and career of my ancestor, Silas Talbot, describing his command of the Constitution. I had the experience of telephoning the author, William Fowler, shortly after purchasing his book and was delighted learn more about his research.
Talbot and Truxton shared a mutual dislike for one another as accurately described; a story which was passed down to me from childhood. Our family tree manuscript records Silas Talbot, his family record, and descendants to date.
My mother, whose maiden name was Esther Talbot, was the youngest of seven children by Frederick Talbot and Caroline Peters of Toledo, OH. My mother passed away September 19, 2008 at age 95. Her deceased siblings were sisters Alice (Talbot) Shaw, Helen Talbot, and Ruth (Talbot) Perlmutter; brothers Eugene, Robert and Russell Talbot.
Whether you are a U.S. Navy veteran, historian, scholar, student, or other interested party of this period in our history, I highly recommend this book for its research and ease of reading.
