On July 6, 1747, another cry joined the squawks of the seagulls sweeping above the Solway coast, southwest Scotland. In the gardener’s cottage a baby boy loudly announced his arrival to the world. This book tells the amazing story of how this Scottish boy came to play a major role in the founding of the American navy.

Illustrated. Foreword by Cathy Hurst, Principal Officer, American Consulate.
