Commodore Bainbridge: From The Gunroom To The Quarter-Deck is a biographical book written by James Barnes in 1897. The book narrates the life story of William Bainbridge, who started his career as a midshipman in the US Navy and went on to become a renowned commodore. The book takes the reader on a journey through Bainbridge's life, from his early days as a young midshipman to his command of some of the most significant naval vessels of his time. The book covers Bainbridge's involvement in the Barbary Wars, where he played a crucial role in the US Navy's fight against the Barbary pirates. The book also covers Bainbridge's command of the USS Constitution, where he led the ship to victory against the British frigate HMS Java during the War of 1812. The book provides a detailed account of Bainbridge's naval career and his contributions to the US Navy. It also sheds light on his personal life, including his marriage and family. The book is a fascinating read for anyone interested in naval history and the life of one of America's most distinguished naval officers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
