Romance of War and a Sailor's Love in Wartime
The Brooklyn Times recalls Charlie Wilkes and John Slidell as rival suitors, Wilkes winning the lass with a sailor’s heart, then a prisoner on Slidell’s ship. A Seward anecdote follows about the Secretary of State’s smoking habit and a blunt quip from a fellow traveler. The page also notes Maryland Quakers aiding soldiers with blankets, Port Royal’s colonial history, and Missouri’s slavery decline amid secession talk.
