In examining for the first time the reasons for North Carolina's
support of the War of 1812, this volume makes an important contribution
to North Carolina history. It portrays several figures who have never
been studied before, clarifies legends concerning the folk heroes
Benjamin Forsyth and Otway Burns, and describes the unique exploits
of Johnston Blakeley, the chief naval officer who disappeared on a
daring raid in European waters.
