I came across a book by David Hanna titled "Knights of the Sea: The True Story of the Boxer and the Enterprise and the War of 1812."
It is available at Amazon for $11.50 with $2.99 shipping.
Here's what it says about the book:
On a September day in 1813, the Age of Fighting Sail was coming to an end, two maritime warriors faced each other in the waters off Pemaquid Point, Maine....
"Samuel Blyth was the youthful commander of His Majesty's brig Boxer, and William Burrows, younger still, commanded the USS Enterprise. Both men valued honor over life and death, and on this day their commitment would be put to the ultimate test."
I may have to break down and buy a copy of this book, especially since I have been writing so much about it of late.
