Defiant and Dismasted at Trafalgar: the Life & Times of Admiral Sir William Harwood by Mary Mcgrigor
Born in 1762, William Hargood's naval career spanned over 30 years, as he rose from humble midshipman to the captain of one of the most powerful warships of the day at Trafalgar. Britain was hardly ever at peace during those troubled times. During his career Hargood became a close friend of Admiral Lord Nelson and shared many an experience and triumph with him. Hargood's Belleisle was dismasted in the thick of action at Trafalgar but never sunk.
McGrigor, Mary: - Mary McGrigor grew up in a fifteenth-century Scottish castle, which inspired her love of history. Married at twenty to Sir Charles MacGrigor, she was firstly a soldier's wife before becoming much involved in farming and breeding Highland ponies on a hill farm in Argyll. The author of many books, largely on historical biographies, and contributions to magazines, she has her family of four children, twelve grandchildren and two little great granddaughters to keep her occupied, while still finding time to write.
