Noah Worcester 1758-1837 was born in New Hampshire and would become a noted a clergyman. He published several important tracts on religious subjects and appears to have had some unorthodox views of the holy trinity and published a few articles on the subject. However around the time of the War of 1812 Worcester reflected on the effects of war and became a pacifist. In 1814 he first published his "A Solemn Review of the Custom of War" which would continue in several other editions. In this work he argued that the violence and destruction of war was inconsistent with Christian values. He would found the Massachusetts Peace Society and this group would be in the forefront of a rather popular antiwar movement that emerged in America around the time of the War of 1812. ANB. OCLC. A.

196782518New York: The Macmillan Company 1967. First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Good. DJ is price clipped. DJ has some wear and soiling. Includes Introduction by Admiral E. M. Eller Director of Naval History. Editor's Note Journal of the First Cruise and Journal of the Second Cruise. Also includes 9 illustrations including two maps. The Journals of Two Cruises Aboard the Privateer Yankee are an exciting historical find. Written by a young ardently romantic ship's clerk who signs himself "A Wanderer" they record the heady adventures of the American privateer Yankee on her first two voyages during the War of 1812. Only recently discovered among the possessions of a New England family they are printed here for the first time. The author was listed on the Yankee manifest as Noah Jones but in all probability his real name was Noah Johnson according to descendants. These historic journals bring vividly to life sea voyages that epitomized Yankee daring and skill dedication to freedom and Christian charity in dealing with conquered enemies. What life was like aboard a privateer and how these warships were manned sailed and deployed against the enemy is nowhere better illustrated than in these superb firsthand accounts. The private fleet of James De Wolf which sailed under the flag of the American government in 1812 was most likely a key factor in the naval campaign of the war. De Wolf's ship the Yankee was possibly the most financially successful ship of the war. Privateers proved to be successful than their US Navy counterparts claiming three-quarters of the 1600 British merchant ships taken during the war although a third of these were recaptured prior to making landfall. A privateer is a private person or ship that engages in maritime warfare under a commission of war. Since robbery under arms was a common aspect of seaborne trade until the early 19th century all merchant ships carried arms. A sovereign or delegated authority issued commissions also referred to as a letter of marque during wartime. The commission empowered the holder to carry on all forms of hostility permissible at sea by the usages of war. This included attacking foreign vessels and taking them as prizes and taking prize crews as prisoners for exchange. Captured ships were subject to condemnation and sale under prize law with the proceeds divided by percentage between the privateer's sponsors shipowners captains and crew. A percentage share usually went to the issuer of the commission i.e. the sovereign. Privateering allowed sovereigns to raise revenue for war by mobilizing privately owned armed ships and sailors to supplement state power. For participants privateering provided the potential for a greater income and profit than obtainable as a merchant seafarer or fisher. However this incentive increased the risk of privateers turning to piracy when war ended. The commission usually protected privateers from accusations of piracy but in practice the historical legality and status of privateers could be vague. It took 150 years for this journal to make it to print but when it did it allowed the world's greatest military power to look back at a time when its European counterparts controlled the seas. The Journals of Two Cruises aboard the American Privateer "Yankee" in the War of 1812 reflects a time when The United States had practically no navy when British outrages on the high seas notably the impressment of American sailors led the two nations to war. The British controlled the seas and America was virtually helpless to defend itself from ocean-based attacks. President Madison turned to America's merchant and other ships for help. Private ships were authorized to engage in "privateering" a polite word for legalized piracy. These privateers were able to harass British shipping in a manner similar to the way the Royal Navy was able to disrupt American shipping. This journal of life on board the "Yankee" sailing out of Bristol Rhode Island gives an inside view of life on a privateering ship during America's first war. The Macmillan Company hardcover

199282194New York: W. W. Norton & Company 1992. First Edition Stated First Printing Stated. Hardcover. Very good/Very good. 332 4 pages. Foreword by Susan Stamberg Inscribed on the half-title page by the author. Inscription reads For Lynn Fondly Noah October 1 1992 Washington. Noah Adams is an American broadcast journalist and author known primarily since 1987 from National Public Radio. A former co-host of the daily All Things Considered program Adams has also been a contributing correspondent at the network's National Desk. His books tend to document a full year in his life specifically as that year relates to a particular passion or research project. He wrote and narrated a documentary called Father Cares: The Last of Jonestown in 1981 which earned him the Prix Italia the Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award and the Major Armstrong Award. Adams was the host of the nationally syndicated Minnesota Public Radio variety show Good Evening created in 1987 to replace A Prairie Home Companion after that show left the air. The host of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" provides a behind-the-scenes look at the creation of this landmark radio show; the team of reporters announcers and technicians that work on the show; and anecdotes about key programs. All Things Considered ATC is the flagship news program on the American network National Public Radio NPR. It was the first news program on NPR premiering on May 3 1971. It is broadcast live on NPR affiliated stations in the United States and worldwide through several different outlets formerly including the NPR Berlin station in Germany. All Things Considered and Morning Edition were the highest rated public radio programs in the United States in 2002 and 2005. The show combines news analysis commentary interviews and special features and its segments vary in length and style. ATC airs weekdays from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time live or Pacific Standard Time recorded with some updates; in Hawaii it airs as a fully recorded program or from 3:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Central Standard Time. A weekend version of ATC Weekend All Things Considered airs on Saturdays and Sundays. Major awards won by the show include the Ohio State Award the Peabody Award the Overseas Press Club Award the DuPont Award the American Women in Radio and Television Award and the Robert F. Kennedy Award. In 1993 the show was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame the first public radio program to be given that honor. In 2017 the first broadcast episode from 1971 of All Things Considered was selected for preservation in the National Recording Registry by the Library of Congress. Recordings in the collection are considered "culturally historically or artistically significant." Derived from a Kirkus review: The story behind National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" stories. Adams longtime co-host for "All Things Considered" offers his journal for 1989--the year the Berlin Wall came down Communism began crumbling in Eastern Europe Tiananmen Square erupted and the Ayatollah died. To provide a firsthand feel for his job the author who develops many NPR stories on his own intersperses radio interviews with travel notes and entries from his personal diary. The author tells of his background--rock 'n' roll DJ; program director; sales manager--and his worst moment in radio: While announcing for a small station lightning struck the station's antenna putting the broadcast off the air for an hour--and no one called up to complain. Adams relates many interesting stories and his writing is strong and involving. W. W. Norton & Company hardcover
