INJURED HONOR- The Chesapeake / Leopard Affair June 22, 1807. Tucker, Spencer C, and Frank T. Reuter. 1996, like new, hard bound w/dj, 6 1/2 x 9 1/2, xi, 268 pp, notes, bibliog, index In 1807, off Hampton Roads, a short but serious engagement took place between two frigates, HMS LEOPARD and USS CHESAPEAKE. The incident was to have lasting repercussions and eventually led to war in 1812. Two American professors examine in detail the events surrounding the incident. The LEOPARD was searching for British deserters who were in the habit of taking refuge in American ships and tried to hide their true identity – often aided by American captains. The British frigate opened fire on the US frigate and her shot resulted in fatalities. There was frenzied public reaction on both sides of the Atlantic that required all the transatlantic diplomatic skills of Thomas Jefferson and his British counterpart. In America, CHESAPEAKE’S officers were accused, largely unfairly, of not putting up much of a fight. The subsequent Court-martial of Commodore James Barron and his officers divided the US officer corps. From the Royal Navy’s point of view they were deeply involved in a long and bitter struggle with Napoleon and as ever, suffered from the shortage of able manpower. Many British captains would stop at nothing to fully man their ships and many failed to appreciate the insult and “injured honour” they were inflicting on a fledging navy and a young proud nation, with relations between the two countries having been strained since the War of Independence. The most common factors on both sides was mistrust and misunderstanding. ******************************************************************************************************************************* THANK YOU FOR SHOPPING WITH US – WE VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR BUSINESS.
