I'm a long time Hornblower,Ramage,Kent etc. fan and just found this site. Would someone please tell me if there are archives of topics or questions I can check...
Ardent Hornblower fan here, just finished "Beat to Quarters" (aka "Happy Return")and can't wait to start the next book in the series. I'm an avid reader of...
Welcome, Pip! I'm afraid I don't have enough of a handle on Yahoo groups to do much more than suggest you scan the messages section. Looking forward to seeing...
Welcome, Pip. I'm not sure what you're looking for, but there are things under both the 'files' heading and also under 'links' which have information about...
I'm rather surprised by Hornblower's romantic encounters, but I suppose that is why his shipmates call him Horny.....I somehow don't think it had the same...
... I think that I can quite confidently say that the slang meaning of today would not have occurred to CSF. Not that he was a prude, but meanings have...
My pardon if my small attempt at humour went awry. I just found it amusing that the nickname given to Hornblower by his fellow seamen could be misconstrued by...
Actually John, with all respect to both you and you father, rather than deny the implications of HH's nickname, perhaps it's time to embrace it. Be proud and...
I hate to bring this topic to a more serious vien, but it got me thinking - why is HH such a great ladies man. And how is he possibly able to continue his...
You might have your answer in your own question. If I remember correctly, the only individual in the novels to describe Hornblower's physical characteristics...
I suspect that between Paul and Robert we have the answer. Also, there's the added attraction of the fact that he's a naval officer with a potential to not...
Robert Fox has suggested to me a new thought. His words: "One thing that does surface momentarily is Hornblower's need for a mother figure in his life (I could...

Ah, wonderful--exactly my intent. Beth ... Indeed, you made me laugh! John Forester, MS, PE Bicycle Transportation Engineer 7585 Church St. Lemon Grove, CA...
Long before I saw the Gregory Peck movie or the modern TV miniseries, I first read the Hornblower books and was convinced that Hornblower would be very ...
I'm currently unable to get hold of my copy of "Midshipman Hornblower", so I am unable to answer a question that has been bugging me for a short while. What...
... wrote: What year did Hornblower join HMS Justinian? What was the name and author of the book he mentioned when he said he would look up the difference of...
Thanks for such a swift reply. Now all I have to do is find a copy of the book. That will only take me a couple of months Robert ... What year did Hornblower...
Does anyone remember the site which has fabulous and clear illustrations of Brit naval rank insignia from HH's time? I've lost it and need to check something. ...
Thank you, Bronwyn, for your kind suggestion, but my own Hornblower books are currently in storage, and I was just too lazy to fight my way through 40 boxes...
Hi Everyone My name is Dale. I have read all the Hornblower series at least twice. I also read the O'Bian and Kent novals, I just love them. I also own an art...
... is ... <snip> ... My edition of the "Midshipman" names the book referred to as "Norie's Seamanship". Another suggestion that Hornblower went to sea in 1793...
