Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Life of Commodore Thomas Macdonough: U. S. Navy In preparing this volume free use has been made of the collection of papers left by Commodore Macdonough, and now owned by the author. One of the most interesting of these is his autobiography, which covers the period from 1800, when he entered the navy, through 1822, and is published in full. The other papers consist of several hundred letters, orders, reports, etc., some of them personal, but most of them official. Among the signatures on these papers are those of Perry, Hull, Bainbridge, Porter, Chauncey, Stewart, Rodgers and other well known naval officers of that time. The official records in the Navy and the Treasury Departments at Washington naturally furnished much interesting and valuable information.

This book was released on 2015-03-15 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades before the American Civil War various political, social, and religious groups agitated for reforms in American society that would be in keeping with its professed democratic and national principles. One such organization was the American Seaman’s Friend Society, which lobbied for improvements in the enlistment, discipline, and treatment of sailors in the Merchant Marine and the Navy. Their causes were embraced by some naval officers, members of Congress, and a few Secretaries of the Navy. This history explores the circumstances and people in and out of the Navy who eventually convinced Congress to enact reforms to improve the conditions of service of naval enlisted men and to lay the foundation for a career enlisted force.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Profiles of unsung American battlefield commanders—from the Revolutionary War through the Civil War. “A pleasure to read” (Raymond E. Franck, Brig. Gen., USAF, retired). History plays tricks sometimes. During the course of America’s experience, it has enshrined an exceptional few military leaders in our collective consciousness as “great,” while ignoring others often equally as deserving. For example, few of the thousands who pass by the traffic square between Fifth Avenue and Broadway in Manhattan realize that it houses the tomb of one of America’s best military commanders—William Worth—a hero in not one but two of the nation’s wars. Similarly, the Civil War general who never lost a battle and who many military historians believe fought one of the two most perfect battles in history was not Grant, Sherman, Lee, or Jackson; it was Thomas—who never extolled his own cause, but in all likelihood saved his nation’s. At the same time, conflicts themselves have often disappeared from consciousness, the public forgetting the fights the country waged against the Barbary Pirates, the British in 1812, and against the Seminoles and Apaches. In the Shadows of Victory describes the heroics and command acumen of twenty-five superb military leaders whose sacrifice and skill have often been neglected—from the War of Independence through the Mexican War and Civil War, and during numerous Native American conflicts. As such, it provides a fascinating tour through early American military history and the various martial challenges the young nation faced during its first century of existence. “Well written . . . reading about these officers’ achievements is an enjoyable experience.” —The Journal of America’s Military Past
