Description:

James R. Durand served on three American war vessels, including the USS Constitution (Old Ironsides), was taken prisoner of war, and then impressed into the British Navy. For seven years he served under that foreign flag and during the War of 1812, aboard the British frigate Narcissus, he refused to obey orders to take part in the bombardment of Stonington, Connecticut, where he had relatives. He was almost hanged. The journal ends with Durand’s release from the British Navy and return to his home, Milford, Connecticut.
