This is the life story of an American Sailor, following him from Colonial Connecticut, working as waterman, an officer, a captain, and maritime business manager to maturity. The author uses a mix of historical fact and fiction and alternative history to examine American History in deeper detail than allowed by ordinary historical study. Looking critically at "The times that try mens' souls . . ." Realizing that Revolutionary America was part of a "World turned upside down" according to General Charles Cornwallis. Approximately twenty-two percent of our population fought for our freedom and twenty-two percent fought to remain British, while fifty-six percent was ambivalent and mistreated by both sides. Atrocities that would be called war crimes today were all too common as the war raged for eight long years. But for men like Nathaniel Micah McSolla, his loving, wife Anita, enduring the long separations caused by travels under sail, before the mast, risking the risks of battle and of command, and knowing that excepting people like them America would still be a subjective British colony.
