James Durand, An Able Seaman Of 1812: His Adventures On Old Ironsides And As An Impressed Sailor In The British Navy is a historical book written by George S. Brooks. The book tells the story of James Durand, a sailor who served on the USS Constitution, also known as Old Ironsides, during the War of 1812. Durand's adventures take readers through battles with British ships and his eventual capture and imprisonment by the British. The book also details Durand's experiences as an impressed sailor in the British Navy, where he faced harsh conditions and mistreatment. Through Durand's story, the book sheds light on the practice of impressment, where sailors were forcibly recruited into the British Navy.

The book is well-researched and includes historical details that add depth and context to Durand's story.
