ON OUR COVER: In 1813, 11-year-old David Farragut commanded a ship and men more than twice his age. What was it like? Probably much like the action in Roy Andersen's oil-on-canvas painting. Because Mr. Andersen researched every detail--the ships, the clothes, right down to David's dirk (the swordlike sidearm). To read how David later navigated his way to full admiral, turn to page 18.
