Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Character of Stephen Decatur; Late Commodore and Post-Captain in the Navy of the United States, and Navy-Commissioner: Interspersed With Brief Notices of the Origin, Progress, and Achievements of the American Navy The rapid sale Edition of this Volume, was the inducement for publishing the present very large Edition. The writer is, of course, precluded from saying any thing of the merits of the work, in regard to the manner in which it is executed: but he will certainly escape the imputation of vanity, when he assures the candid reader, that, in "point of fact" it has been pronounced accurate by those who were best calculated to judge of its accuracy. The Volume contains the first minute biography of any of the distinguished heroes, who commenced their naval profession in the American School in the Mediterranean, Sea. The writer began, prosecuted, and ended the memoir with a solicitude which was sensibly felt by himself, but which he could not possibly impart to the readers of this rapidly written volume. The author, since the publication of the first-Edition, has enjoyed the pleasure of interviews with distinguished officers of the navy who have condescended to peruse it; and whose gentlemanlike civility has pronounced it correct. Their opinion gives a value to the Volume, which the writer certainly did not attach to it himself. The Publisher of the present Edition has spared no pains or expense to add to the little value the work originally possessed.

Download or read book Stephen Decatur written by Spencer C Tucker and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-12-15 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Brave, energetic, intensely patriotic, Stephen Decatur is America's first great naval hero after John Paul Jones. His short and dramatic life is a story of triumph and tragedy told by the noted historian and author of some twenty books, Spencer Tucker. Decatur's raid into Tripoli Harbor in 1804 to burn the Philadelphia, a prized U.S. warship captured when it ran aground during the Barbary Wars, earned him international fame. An admiring Horatio Nelson described the feat as "the most bold and daring act of the age." Explaining the tremendous impact Decatur's action had on the early U.S. Navy, the author notes that it set a standard of audacity and courage for generations of future naval officers. At the age of twenty-five, Decatur was promoted to captain, becoming the youngest naval officer ever to attain that rank in the U.S. Navy. The book fully examines Decatur's astonishing achievements as it chronicles his rapid rise in the Navy, including his command of the Constitution and the United States, during the War of 1812, when he captured the British frigate Macedonian off the Azores. The book also recounts the cruise that many call his greatest triumph: Decatur sailed into the Mediterranean with a nine-ship American squadron to punish the dey of Algiers for taking American merchant shipping, securing peace with Algiers and keeping other Barbary states quiescent. Lionized by a grateful American public upon his return, Decatur offered a toast at a reception in his honor that is now legendary, "Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations, may she always be in the right; but our country, right or wrong!" In describing Decatur's life, the author also examines Decatur's relationship with James Barron, a Navy captain who fatally shot Decatur during a 1820 duel.

Download or read book Conduct Unbecoming written by Randy Shilts and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2014-12-16 with total page 860 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “A thoroughly researched and engrossingly readable history” of gay men and women in the American armed forces by the author of And the Band Played On (The New York Times Book Review). Published during the same year the American military instituted Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and eighteen years before President Barack Obama repealed it, Conduct Unbecoming is a landmark work of social justice and a searing indictment of the military establishment’s historic bigotry toward its gay servicemen and women. Randy Shilts’s eye-opening book describes the bravery, both exceptional and everyday, not only of gay soldiers throughout history, but also of gay men and women serving in our modern military. With each anecdote and investigation, Shilts systematically dismantles the arguments against allowing gays to serve in the military. At once a history of the American military and an account of the gay rights movement, Conduct Unbecoming is a remarkable testament to the progress achieved for gays in the military—and a revealing look at how far we have yet to go.
