    Default The schooner Enterprise

    When I was young, the late 60's/early 70's I read a book about adventures on the Enterprise during the Tripolian business. I have no idea what the book was called, but would sure love to find it again. It was.historic fiction. The only part I really recall is the main character cutting a new American dollar in half and giving one side to his sweetheart.

    Does this ring any bells for my fellow sailors?

    Hi Dobbs.
    The only book I could find anything like this was:-

    The Shores of Tripoli: Lieutenant Putnam and the Barbary Pirates (A Bliven Putnam Naval Adventure Book 1 by James L Haley

    Rob.
    The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
