Carry On, Mr. Bowditch

Jean Lee Latham

Delightful, interesting, and inspiring biography of a rather obscure yet important figure in the maritime history of our country.

All the entertainment and adventure expected in a book of fiction are found in this vivid, fictionized biography of Nathaniel Bowditch.
