The Old US Naval Academy Newport Rhode Island #historicalfiction #literarylegacy #usnavy #gildedageAdded:
I am in Newport Rhode Island, a place where there's so much history surrounding us, the hunt for history is made easy. I'm standing in front of a building that was the US Naval Academy from 1861 to 1865 during the Civil War, and we all know that one of the things that tipped the balance in favor of the north was the historic fight between the Merrimack and the Monitor. This is J.F. Cullen with another helping of history.
