Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval History of the Civil War Since that era the Navy of the United States has been making history for the country on a scale almost bewildering, and could the Old pioneer captains of 1812 have been permitted to look on from their present abode (wherever that may be), we doubt not but that they would have been astonished at the large fleets we were putting afloat with such wonderful rapidity; and they would also have acknowledged that their descend ants had nobly borne themselves in the war for the salvation of this Union, which was as dear to our forefathers as it is to us at the present time.

Download or read book The Navy and the War (Classic Reprint) written by J. R. Thursfield and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-13 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Navy and the War Bruins have made good their escape in the very teeth of vastly superior British squadrons. Against all this we have next to nothing to set except the smart little action in the Heligoland Bight, which was forthwith heralded as a glorious victory. Of course we have captured many helpless German merchantmen, and seized some undefended or weakly defended German colonies, but there is nothing very glorious about that. Altogether, it is a sorry tale of inaction, disappointment, and frequent reverse.' To all these crabbed and cross-grained critics I would reply, 0 yo of little faith, how little you know of the things which belong to your peace! You betray an equal ignorance of naval history and of the nature of naval warfare. Do you think that a fleet, however powerful and confident, can engage the enemy if he will not give it the opportunity? Do you think that any nation can ever go to war without suffering occa sioual disappointments and partial reverses Do you not know that in the Great Revolutionary War, which began in 1793, it was more than a year before the first fleet action was fought by Lord Howe on the glorious first of June 1794 Do you forget that throughout that war, both before Trafalgar and after, British merchant-vessels were captured by the French in hundreds every year, scores of them being snapped up even in the Channel day by day, to the very end of the war? Do you not know that the Seven Years' War, the most successful that England ever fought, began with the loss of Minorca and the trial and death of Byng? The Navy has done nothing, forsooth Why, it has done everything, literally everything; for without it nothing could have been done that has been done) About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Naval War of 1812 written by Theodore Roosevelt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-20 with total page 546 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Naval War of 1812: Or the History of the United States Navy During the Last War With Great Britain; To Which Is Appended an Account of the Battle of New Orleans The qualities of which his first work gave promise had developed to such an extent by the time he became President that he frequently astonished naval Officers by the rapidity with which he grasped the essentials Of a naval problem and made a decision upon it. Fre quently he used to say to his advisers: Prepare me a paper on the subject. In these papers the essence of a highly technical matter had to be condensed both clearly and accurately so that he could study it at his leisure and give a decision on it. These reports he would put in his inside coat-pocket, and often he would say: I will take this home with me; come and see me about it to-morrow. One day when, as his naval aide, I had presented him with such a memorandum upon a matter of vital con cern to the navy, he looked at the paper for a few min utes, slowly turning over the pages and pausing a short time at each as though giving it a preliminary survey. Then, instead of putting it in his pocket, he laid it down and, in place of his usual formula, said abruptly: All right; what have you got to say about it?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States Navy IN preparing this volume the writer has been animated by a desire to tell, in one convenient volume, that might be sold at a moderate price, the whole story of our navy - to describe all the important naval battles, and to show how the nation has been affected at certain times by the work of its naval ships, and at other times by the want of such a force. All battles that have had any influence upon the wars in which the nation has been engaged, or upon the evolution of ships of war, or upon the character of our naval men, or of the nation, have been deemed important herein. Any con sideration of the facts shows that our sailors were animated, in most of their battles, by the knowledge that they were fighting for the very life of the nation, and it is therefore not too much to say that a description of such a fight must be a hero story, however told. Frankly, it was in the be lief that every history of our navy claims attention first of all as a hero story that this one was written.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Naval Lads and Lassies in War With Dixie To the loyal and patriotic people of the Union, I dedicate this true story of naval life as it was in the sixties, believing its pictures embalm the old navy, and usher in the new; glorify wooden ships and true sailors, and introduce ironclad batteries and expert machinists. The kith and kin of the lads of the Civil War should know how they lived and fought and made history; and how the lassies helped the heroes in battle, hospital and society, and loved them for the dangers they had passed.

The latter gives the American view of the cruises and battles; but it is much less of an authority than James's, both because it is written without great regard for exact ness, and because all figures for the American side need to be supplied from Lieutenant (now Admiral) George E. Emmons's statistical History of the United States Navy, which is the third of the Works in question. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

There has been no more striking instance of sea power than in this war, in which the Allies held control of the seas and, in spite of ruthless submarine warfare and the activity of raiders, at last compelled the surrender of the German High Seas Fleet. It is gratifying that our own Navy had a part in accomplishing this resuAbout the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
