{"product_id":"9781503510883","title":"Farragut and Family: The Making of an Elder Hero","description":"David Glasgow Farragut, the Civil War icon and America’s first four-star admiral, had a family worthy of fiction. The main character -- those who influenced him most -- were heroes themselves in their day: In the American Revolution, it was George, this Spanish immigrant father; in the War of 1812, David Porter, both his foster father and commander; and in the Civil War, David Dixon Porter, his adopted brother and naval partner. This book tells how Farragut’s hero-relatives impacted him at successive stages in his growth and career.  A kind of family album in text and illustration, the book begins with details of Farragut’s Spanish and Irish ancestry. It concludes with a profile of his son, Loyall, his chosen biographer, who along with the admiral’s wife, Virginia, became guardians of his legacy when he passed.","brand":"Xlibris US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47127087022320,"sku":"9781503510883","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781503510883_p0.jpg?v=1765233428","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781503510883","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
