Wooden Ships - Iron Men by J.G. Braddock Sr. is a chronicle of four master
mariners--David Cutler Braddock, his son John Braddock, his father-in-law
William Lyford Sr., and his brother-in-law William Lyford Jr. The exploits of
these men along the coasts of South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and The Bahamas
during the Colonial and Revolutionary periods helped shape Southeastern history.
The tips of two of the best known resort islands in Southern waters, New
Providence, Bahamas and Hilton Head in South Carolina, are named for
brothers-in-law, David Cutler Braddock and William Lyford Jr., and justly so.
The book, which is in many bookstores and gift shops in the Southeast and The
Bahamas, is 300 pages, case bound, dust-jacketed, fully indexed, and has a
bibliography. It can be ordered for $20.00 plus $4.00 shipping via Priority
Mail. Send check or money order to: VJB Press 1710 Garden St. Charleston, SC
