By Conduct and Courage

A Story of the Days of Nelson

A historical adventure set during the Napoleonic Wars. Will Gilmore is a young man from a small village called Scarcombe who joins the Royal Navy as a ship’s boy. His rise in the navy begins rather quickly when he distinguishes himself in a battle against the French. His adventures include battles with pirates, being captured and escaping several times, and participating in both the Battle of Cape St. Vincent and the Battle of Camperdown.
