Ordered to join the Pacific Squadron in 1854, the sloop of war Decatur sailed from Norfolk, Virginia, through the Strait of Magellan to Valparaiso, Honolulu, and Puget Sound, then on to San Francisco, Panama, Nicaragua, and Costa Rica, while serving in the Pacific until 1859, the eve of the Civil War. Historian Lorraine McConaghy presents the ship, its officers, and its crew in a vigorous, keenly rendered case study that illuminates the forces shaping America's antebellum navy and foreign policy in the Pacific, from Vancouver Island to Tierra del Fuego. One of only five ships in the squadron, the Decatur participated in numerous imperial adventures in the Far West, enforcing treaties, fighting Indians, suppressing vigilantes, and protecting commerce. With its graceful lines and towering white canvas sails, the ship patrolled the sandy border between ocean and land. Warship under Sail focuses on four episodes in the Decatur's Pacific Squadron mission: the harrowing journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean through the Strait of Magellan; a Seattle war story that contested American treaties and settlements; participation with other squadron ships on a U.S. State Department mission to Nicaragua; and more than a year spent anchored off Panama as a hospital ship. In a period of five years, more than 300 men lived aboard ship, leaving a rich record of logbooks, medical and punishment records, correspondence, personal journals, and drawings. Lorraine McConaghy has mined these records to offer a compelling social history of a warship under sail. Her research adds immeasurably to our understanding of the lives of ordinary men at sea and American expansionism in the antebellum Pacific West.
Miscarriage is a taboo word. To discuss such a loss makes many people extremely uncomfortable. As a result, it is all too frequently swept under the carpet, leaving the sufferer feeling desperately alone with their grief. The author is passionate about bringing awareness to the silent suffering endured and invites you to join her on a journey exploring the darkest days of grief and pain, to the beginning of the healing process. Lorraine was initially dismissive when her miscarried child attempted to attract his mothers attention from the afterlife. Fortunately, her son was not about to give up. With the help of several gifted mediums and a few tricks of his own, this tenacious soul has proven his undeniable existence from the other side. He has also initiated communication with many family members in spirit and uncovered a previously unknown relative. Babies lost in the womb have never actually been lost at all, even those taken at the earliest gestation. They remain safe, blissfully content, and incredibly close to their parents.
