Following Forester's study of "The Naval Chronicle" that details the wars with Napoleon, a trip aboard a freighter from California to Central America, and his trip back home to Britain, the first book was plotted. The next books first appeared serially, in Argosy and the Saturday Evening Post. But it was the packaging of the first three books into ...

Mr. Midshipman Hornblower
