Event Details

As part of the America’s 250th Reading Challenge Project we will be discussing "Give Me A Fast Ship - The Continental Navy and America's Revolution at Sea" by Tim McGrath

“In Tim McGrath’s Give Me a Fast Ship, early American naval literature has found a proud new flagship…. It is rare for a one-volume work to fill the sails of personalities and battles separated from the modern reader by nearly two centuries, but Give Me a Fast Ship pulls it off beautifully. His descriptions are vivid, his commanders three-dimensional, and he evinces a genuine love of the world of white sails and black powder. When Give Me a Fast Ship drops anchor, the reader returns from an adventure cruise with respect for the men who fought the Revolution at sea.”—The Wall Street Journal

Check the book out from the library, read it at your leisure, and join us for a lively discussion of this interesting, entertaining book.  

Registration recommended but not mandatory.  Suitable for teens, adults and seniors.
