Project Notes:
This book is currently in print as On Desperate Seas: A Biography of Gilbert Stuart, but it has limited availability and only in a hardcover edition. Last published in 1995 it might be the right time to revitalize the title with a newly designed paperback version. If an interested team were to form, their first step would be to contact the latest publisher (Fordham University Press) and/or the author, to gauge the possibility of a new edition.
