- fullDescription
- On July 4, 1861, the schooner S.J. Waring set sail from New York on a routine voyage to South America. Seventeen days later, it limped back into New York's harbor with the ship's black cook and steward at the helm. While the story of that ill-fated voyage is one of the most harrowing tales of captivity and survival on the high seas, it has been tragically lost to history. Now reclaiming William Tillman as the American hero he deserves to be, historian Brian McGinty takes readers on a courageous journey that recounts how a free black man was able to recapture his commandeered ship from Confederate privateers, defy their efforts to make him a slave, and become an unlikely glimmer of hope for a disheartened Union army in the war-battered North. The Rest I Will Kill emerges as a thrilling yet historically significant work about race, patriotism, and personal heroism during the Civil War.

Attorney McGinty (Lincoln’s Greatest Case) unsuccessfully attempts to add heft and tension to a little-known Civil War episode of courage on the high seas. He argues that William Tillman, a free black man from the slave state of Delaware, deserves to be remembered as one of the first heroes of the war. In 1861, Tillman had been working as a cook on the S.J. Waring, a merchant ship, for four years. This routine job turned dangerous at the outbreak of war because the Confederacy authorized privateers to seize whatever Union vessels they could. When they captured the Waring that summer, Tillman knew his freedom was forfeit. He would be sold along with the rest of the cargo once the confiscated ship reached the South. Rather than face one day as an enslaved person, Tillman killed three privateers and took back the Waring. These events are described in brisk order, as is the subsequent court case that dealt with the legalities of salvage. Though Tillman struck a decisive blow for individual liberty, McGinty’s claim that he’s a hero comes across as a stretch. Instead of a richly textured story about the importance of freedom, McGinty delivers a wispy sliver of legal history. Illus.
