FORTUNES FAVORITE

Sir Charles Douglas and the Breaking of the Line, the Royal Navy captain finally receives the attention he deserves for his part in the Relief of Quebec, the Battle of Valcour Island, his naval gunnery innovations, and the Battle of the Saints, including his contribution to the breaking of the line maneuver, which has been a subject of controversy for nearly two centuries. Written by an American descendent of Sir Charles, Fortune s Favorite is the definitive work on this most extraordinary man.
