From Delaware News. "DE Heritage Commission Book of the Week: Captain Thomas Macdonough" by Virginia Mason Burdick.
The son of an American Revolution veteran, Thomas Macdonough would serve with distinction in the War of 1812. After the climatic Battle of Lake Champlain, Macdonough would go down in history as one of Delaware's greatest military heroes.
In her biography, Virginia Burdick discusses the life and times of the good captain and tells the story of a lesser-known hero of America's Second War of Independence.
You can view or download a PDF version of the book at this site.
He also had the USS Montgomery at his famous battle which I have written about before.
