This is a portion of the "Governor Tazewell Scrapbook" as
pertains to the Chesapeake-Leopard Affair of 1807. It is the
kind of dramatic action that could well be made into a movie.
In view of the expected interest in these episodes, this
Scrapbook is distributed separately from (and in addition to)
the complete "Governor Tazewell Scrapbook." The Scrapbook is
one of a series covering members of my family, including the
Littletons, Bradfords, Goodes, Parks, Walkes, and Jacksons,
and others.
Tazewell is variously referred to as captain and major in
his material (presumably the same person) within the period of
a few days. Further research is expected to clarify this point.
