Found some interesting information at these links. Earlier chapters in vol 2 deal with 1815 onward. Also leads to many other Naval Historical e-book links. :talk:

I too saw that link and checked out the e-book. Love the stamp below the cover photo about the theft and recovery of the book and the 2 years hard labor. Great resources. Look forward to pouring over these books in the coming weeks. So much to read, so little time. :sleep:
