Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence, Between the Late Commodore Stephen Decatur and Commodore James Barron: Which Led to the Unfortunate Meeting of the Twenty-Second of March Sir: Your communication of the 17th instant, in answer to mine of the 1sth, I have received. The circumstances that urged me to call on you for the information requested in my letter, would, I presume, have instigated you, or any other person, to the same conduct that I pursued. Several gentlemen in Norfolk, not your enemies, nor actuated by any malicious motive, told me that such a report was in circulation, but could not now be traced to its origin. 1, therefore, concluded to appeal to you, suppos ing, under such circumstances, that I could not outrage any rule of decorum or candor. This, I trust, will be considered as a just mo tive for the course I have pursued. Your declaration, if I under stand it correctly, relieves my mind from the apprehension that you had so degraded my character, as I had been induced to allege.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 46 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stephen Decatur and the Suppression of Piracy in the Mediterranean: An Address at a Meeting of the Connecticut Society of the Order of the Founders and Patriots of America, April 19, A. D. 1900 On the northern coast of Africa, there appeared toward the close of the Middle Ages the four Bar barian States of Morocco, Algiers, Tunis, and Tripoli, which were ruled for the most part by Chieftains of a singularly ferocious temper. Of one of these it is related that he prided himself on an accomplishment in which practice had given him great skill. It con sisted in leaping onto his horse, and at the same instant, with a single blow of his scimitar, cutting ofl the head of the groom who was holding the bridle. There was nothing malicious in this. It was simply an eccentric way of releasing the horse for the ride. Under such rulers, piracy was adopted as a State institution, and regarded as a legitimate source of revenue. Said the Dey of Algiers on one occasion, If I were to make peace with every nation, what should I do with my corsairs? My soldiers cannot live on their miserable allowance. During more than three centuries, the pirate ships of the Barbary powers were the scourge of the Medi terranean, where they sometimes cruised in fleets of seventy or eighty sail, defying the strongest European navies of the time. Not content with booty secured at sea, they would swoop down on the coast villages of Southern Europe and carry OR the inhabitants into_s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Old Navy: From the Journals and Private Papers of Captain Edward Trenchard, and Rear-Admiral Stephen Decatur Trenchard This journal is singularly fortunate in being one of the extremely few continuous private narratives of the internecine strife. Nearly all of our officers during the war were frequently transferred from one ship to another, so that their impressions of the struggle are discon nected and fragmentary. The View of the naval operations of the war obtained from the private papers and journal of rear-admiral Trenchard may properly be described as a bird's-eye View. During the time he was in command of the [mode Island, June 10, 1861, to October, 1865, he was constantly hovering on the coast of the seceding States or making a dash in the West Indies after some blockade-runner.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Decatur not only proved dauntless on the quarterdeck but amazingly effective in Mediterranean diplomacy. His spectacular dealings with Islamic powers presaged America's twenty-first century involvement in the region." "Readers will also learn the identity of the woman he forsook for a sophisticated beauty pursued by suitors as varied as Napoleon Bonaparte's brother and Aaron Burr. Through freshly discovered documents, many official, some intensely personal, biographer Leonard Guttridge traces the elements that sped Decatur inexorably into the shadow of murder."--BOOK JACKET.
Download or read book Pennsylvania Biography written by John R. Goodman and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Pennsylvania Biography: Or Memoirs of Eminent Pennsylvanians; With Occasional Extracts, in Prose and Verse, From Their Writings It is a remark of Dr. Johnson, that "no species of writing seems more worthy of cultivation than biography, since none can be more delightful or more useful. None more certainly enchains the heart by irresistible interest, or more widely diffuses instruction to every diversity of condition." In subscribing to the correctness of this sentiment of the great moralist, the editor of this work has prepared the memoirs with a special reference to the benefits which might be expected to result to the young, from narratives of individuals who have deservedly won the admiration, and secured the reverence of their fellow men. The moral portraits which he has drawn, may, it is hoped, present such features as will call for their close attention; whilst the account of their lives should beget a desire of imitation, in order to secure a like measure of merited renown. A feeling of state pride has also been attempted to be awakened; and among those jewels which he has here exhibited, there will be found many that the people of Pennsylvania will long treasure, as a portion of the legacy bequeathed to them by the great and good of their beloved commonwealth.
