War of 1812 Author David C. Skaggs Named As a 2019 Knox Award Winner by NHF

From the October Naval History magazine.

At the 93rd annual meeting of the Naval Historical Foundation (NHF) held June 8, 2019 at the Washington Navy Yard, officials announced this year's three recipients of the Commodore Dudley W. Knox Medal for naval history.

Along with Mr. Skaggs, the other two were Commander U.S. Navy (Ret) Tyrone G. Martin and Norman Polmar.

Mr. Skaggs is of special interest to readers of this blog  because some of his books are:

A Signal Victory:  The Lake Erie Campaign, 1812-1813 (1997)
Thomas Macdonough:  Master of Command in the Early U.S. Navy (2003)
Oliver Hazard Perry:  Honor, Courage, and Patriotism in the Early U.S. Navy (2006)

In 2013, he was Naval History's Author of the Year.

And, who says we don't get enough War of 1812 books?
