Hough, Richard (Alexander) Admirals in Collision.
New York Viking Press 1959 Hardcover Very Good in Good dust jacket
X, 182 pages, 4 plates, cloth, DJ frayed otherwise very good. From the dust jacket: "This is the almost incredible story of the sinking of one of Queen Victoria's greatest battleship, the Victoria - in peacetime, in broad daylight, and on a completely calm sea - by the Camperdown. . . To this day the causes of the catastrophe remain clouded. The entire crew of the offending vessel was court-martialed but acquitted. Richard Hough focuses his story on the contrasting careers and antagonistic personalities of the two admirals, the brilliant George Tryon and the cautious Albert Hastings Markham, who ultimately collided physically as they had so often collided temperamentally. " B16-3 ; 182 pages

HOUGH, RICHARD Captain Bligh and Mr. Christian: The Men and the Mutiny

From the dj: The main outline of the mutiny is widely known and usually seen in strong blacks and whites. It is only through the author's painstaking scholarship and reinterpretation of the major characters that the classical quality of this saga takes on new meaning. Mr. Hough's research took him on prolonged journeys from Christian's birthplace to the other side of the world where Christian's death and Bligh's miraculous open-boat escape occurred.

HOUGH, RICHARD Captain James Cook
New York W. W. Norton & Co. , 1995 0393315193 / 9780393315196 Soft Cover Very Good
398 pages, 8 plates, maps, pictorial wrappers, fine. From the Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition: James Cook, 1728-79, English explorer and navigator. After an apprenticeship to a firm of shipowners at Whitby, he joined (1755) the royal navy. He surveyed the St. Lawrence Channel (1760) and the coasts of Newfoundland and Labrador (1763-67). Cook was then given command of the Endeavour and sailed (1768) on an expedition to chart the transit of Venus; he returned to England in 1771, having also circumnavigated the globe and explored the coasts of New Zealand, which he accurately charted for the first time, and E Australia. He next commanded (1772-75) an expedition to the South Pacific of two ships, the Resolution and the Adventure. On this voyage he disproved the rumor of a great southern continent, explored the Antarctic Ocean and the New Hebrides, visited New Caledonia, and by the observance of strict diet and hygiene prevented scurvy, heretofore the scourge of long voyages. Cook sailed again in 1776; in 1778 he visited and named the Sandwich Islands (Hawaii) and unsuccessfully searched the northwest coast of North America for a Northwest Passage. On the return voyage he was killed by natives on the island of Hawaii.

HOUGH, RICHARD Edwina, Countess Mountbatten of Burma
New York William Morrow & Co. 1984 0688037666 / 9780688037666 First Thus Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
239 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. 1st U.S. edition. From the dj: This colorful portrait of Lady Mountbatten is extraordinarily vivid in detailing Edwina's ambitious spirit, her appetite for extremes, and her incredible personal achievements in England, India, and elsewhere. Widely known for her beauty, wealth, and self-indulgent way of life, which reflected a generation searching for novelty and excitement, she was the object of widespread scrutiny and controversy. Suddenly, to the astonishment of her critics, she underwent a metamorphosis, identifying herself first with the torment of the Jews in Hitler's Germany and then with the casualties of World War II. The war gave Edwina's immense energy a necessary focus and satisfied her desire for work and action. Thereafter, with great dedication and courage, she became totally involved in providing relief for the suffering and homeless. Countless thousands of refugees, liberated prisoners, and wounded soldiers attested to her unending devotion and bravery, and as the much-decorated chief of numerous charities and other organizations she was still working with complete commitment until she drove herself to a premature death in 1960.
