Book Synopsis Oliver Hazard Perry by : David C Skaggs
Download or read book Oliver Hazard Perry written by David C Skaggs and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hailed for his decisive victory over a Royal Navy squadron on Lake Erie in September 1813 and best known for his after-action report proclamation We have met the enemy and they are ours, Oliver Hazard Perry was one the early U.S. Navy s most famous heroes. In this modern, scholarly reassessment of the man and his career, Professor David Skaggs emphasizes Perry s place in naval history as an embodiment of the code of honor, an exemplar of combat courage, and a symbol of patriotism to his fellow officers and the American public. It is the first biography of Perry to be published in more than a quarter of a century and the first to offer an even-handed analysis of his career. After completing a thorough examination of primary sources, Skaggs traces Perry s development from a midshipman to commodore where he personified the best in seamanship, calmness in times of stress, and diplomatic skills. But this work is not a hagiographic treatment, for it offers a candid analysis of Perry s character flaws, particularly his short temper and his sometimes ineffective command and control procedures during the battle of Lake Erie. Skaggs also explains how Perry s short but dramatic naval career epitomized the emerging naval professionalism of the young republic, and he demonstrates how the Hero of Lake Erie fits into the most recent scholarship concerning the role of post-revolutionary generation in the development of American national identity. Finally, Skaggs explores in greater detail than anyone before the controversy over the conduct of his Lake Erie second, Jesse Duncan Elliott, that raged on for over a quarter century after Perry's death in 1819.

Book Synopsis Decision at Sea by : Craig L. Symonds
Download or read book Decision at Sea written by Craig L. Symonds and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2006-10-23 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From thunderous broadsides traded between wooden sailing ships on Lake Erie, to the carrier battles of World War II, to the devastating high-tech action in the Persian Gulf, here is a gripping history of five key battles that defined the evolution of naval warfare--and the course of the American nation. Acclaimed military historian Craig Symonds offers spellbinding narratives of crucial engagements, showing how each battle reveals the transformation of technology and weaponry from one war to the next; how these in turn transformed naval combat; and how each event marked a milestone in American history. - Oliver Hazard Perry's heroic victory at Lake Erie, one of the last great battles of the Age of Sail, which secured the Northwestern frontier for the United States - The brutal Civil War duel between the ironclads Monitor and Virginia, which sounded the death knell for wooden-hulled warships and doomed the Confederacy's hope of besting the Union navy - Commodore Dewey's stunning triumph at Manila Bay in 1898, where the U.S. displayed its "new navy" of steel-hulled ships firing explosive shells and wrested an empire from a fading European power - The hairsbreadth American victory at Midway, where aircraft carriers launched planes against enemies 200 miles away--and where the tide of World War II turned in the space of a few furious minutes - Operation Praying Mantis in the Persian Gulf, where computers, ship-fired missiles, and "smart bombs" not only changed the nature of warfare at sea, but also marked a new era, and a new responsibility, for the United States. Symonds records these encounters in detail so vivid that readers can hear the wind in the rigging and feel the pounding of the guns. Yet he places every battle in a wide perspective, revealing their significance to America's development as it grew from a new Republic on the edge of a threatening frontier to a global superpower. Decision at Sea is a powerful and illuminating look at pivotal moments in the history of the Navy and of the United States. It is also a compelling study of the unchanging demands of leadership at sea, where commanders must make rapid decisions in the heat of battle with lives--and the fate of nations--hanging in the balance.

Download or read book Lake Erie Islands written by Michael Gora and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 442 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For those of us who know the area, the Lake Erie Islands are a beautiful and special place that can more than compete with any other islands as a place to live or visit. But much of their history has been difficult to find for a long time. There are many wonderful stories and pictures about the history of Put-in-Bay, Middle Bass Island, North Bass Island, Pelee Island and Kelleys Island, as well as many of the smaller islands, that we have compiled into this volume. The first of six sections in the book includes all of Lydia Ryall's 1913 Sketches and Stories of the Lake Erie Islands - Perry Centennial Edition 1813-1913.The other sections contain a wealth of additional information and pictures, some of which has never been published before. Many footnotes are provided to point out errors in the original material, and to provide interesting additional information. A publication of the Lake Erie Islands Historical Society, the book contains 266 pictures and is fully indexed. Keeping the book interesting to read while also allowing it to be a good reference work has been of high priority. Many of the original pictures have been digitally cleaned up and enhanced, and the material has been carefully selected to be enjoyable to browse or read carefully. We believe that this is the most complete history of the Lake Erie Islands that has ever been published. Please visit the author's web site at http://www.middlebass.org

Download or read book Who Walk Alone written by Perry Burgess and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-19 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the courage and unselfish love this book describes there is an inspiration for the world today. It is the story of Ned Langford, an ordinary young mid-western American who learned that something had happened to him, so terrible that it sent him into lifelong exile on a distant tropical island. The thing began, probably, in the years when young Ned served as a soldier in the Philippines, but he did not find out what had happened until years later. By that time he was launched in a happy, successful life—engaged to be married, and with a real standing in his community. How he found out the meaning of the places on his arm where there was no feeling, how he destroyed his own identity and went to the leper colony of Culion, how he came to terms with himself and built a new life, makes tremendous, dramatic reading which is doubly effective because Mr. Burgess has let Ned tell it in his own words. Ned Langford’s story is as triumphant as it is memorable and dramatic. Here is the story of a man who faced one of the ultimate of human disasters, and yet managed to wring from it a rich, useful, undaunted life. At the time of its first publication in 1940, Perry Burgess had been a national director of the Leonard Wood Memorial (American Leprosy Foundation) for fifteen years, and the president and executive officer of that foundation for the last decade. His work has taken him to leprosaria all over the world. He presents the factual background of the disease in an authoritative appendix to this volume, a supplement that removes the misconceptions about leprosy which exist in the minds of many people. Richly illustrated throughout with photographs drawn from the files of the Memorial. “Told with amazing sincerity and restraint. It is a true story of gallantry, suffering, triumph, victory of the spirit. It is inspiring....”—Robert M. Green in the Boston Evening Transcript. “A gentle and profoundly affecting story.”—The New Yorker.

Book Synopsis Lords of the Lake by : Robert Malcomson
Download or read book Lords of the Lake written by Robert Malcomson and published by R. Brass Studio. This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Of all the struggles that took place along the border between the United States and the British provinces of Canada during the War of 1812, the one that lasted the longest was the crucial battle for control of Lake Ontario. Because the armies on both sides depended on it for transportation and supply, control of the lake was a key element in American invasion attempts and the defensive actions of the British. Lords of the Lake tells the story of the contest from the days of the incompetent Provincial Marine to the launch of the 104-gun ship St Lawrence, larger than Nelson's Victory. Robert Malcomson's absorbing narrative is readable, vivid, yet impeccable in its scholarship.
