DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Captain Otway Burns: Patriot, Privateer and Legislator A careful and sustained search for written and traditional records of those who shared in the national defence in 1812 has revealed a lamentable dearth of authentic information both in official and private circles. America has been prodigal of her heroes. Contemporaneous foreign history shows a wealth of smallest details in their perfected systems of War Office Records. But America was in her infancy; a struggle for even the form of the constitution itself was raging while the war of 1812 was being waged. Such official records as were kept were despoiled by the British invasion of Washington. The vast extent of the country and the rapidly shifting scenes of action also contributed much to the difficulty of accurately recording events.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK(Paper Back Cover) Captain Otway Burns and his ship Snap Dragon explores the legends, facts, and misguided information of Captain Otway Burns' life. As a native son of southeastern North Carolina he was a merchant sea Captain, highly successful War of 1812 Privateer, noted businessman, and an inventive ship builder. Later in life Burns was a strong state legislator, but like most of his life, his service to his state and country was controversial. Myth and fact have merged since Captain Burns' death in 1850. Using fragments of information along with long forgotten documents, compiled with material gained from newly located direct descendents, this book attempts to capture a more accurate description of Captain Burns and his adventurous life. If you enjoy good stories of Tall Ship Naval battles, or are intrigued with local legends, this book is for you.
