Perry said he would take time to reflect, and, if he could alter it with propriety, he would do so. Failing in obtaining more favourable mention of himself--for Perry was convinced, upon reflection, that he had already said too much for him--Captain Elliott procured some alterations to be made in the report relating to others. At his suggestion, some laudatory remarks were inserted as to the conduct of Acting-master Nelson Webster; and, in consequence of his attributing misconduct to the commanders of the small vessels which he had gone to the rear of the line to bring up, Perry omitted all mention of their commanders. This omission he subsequently regretted, as he was afterward led to believe that they had failed in no exertion to close up, especially Lieutenant Holdup Stevens, the commander of the Trippe, who, as he ascertained from Lieutenant Turner and others, had brought his vessel into action with special gallantry. This omission gave great pain to the relations of Mr. Stevens, and produced anxious letters from them to Captain Perry, which he was happy in being able to answer most satisfactorily by placing Lieutenant Stevens in a true and meritorious light. Captain Elliott's attempt thus to destroy Lieutenant Stevens can only be accounted for by an inveterate dislike, and appears to be in some way connected with the removal of this officer a few days before from the Niagara, of which he was previously first lieutenant. Of the conduct during the action of this gentleman's successor, Lieutenant J. E.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Forgotten Battles and American Memory is a military history book that brings to life long-ignored important conflicts through personal stories. Key figures include George Washington, Myles Standish, Daniel Morgan, Banastre Tarleton, Benjamin Franklin, Oliver Hazard Perry, Nathan Bedford Forest, Joseph Stilwell, Chiang Kai-shek, and George Marshall. The battles covered are the Plymouth Plantation militia attack on the Massachusett Tribe, the defeat of General Edward Braddock in the French and Indian War, Cowpens in the Revolutionary War, the Battle of Lake Erie in the War of 1812, the Fort Pillow Massacre in the Civil War, and the Battle for the Burma Road in World War II. The book also examines why the battles were lost to history and why they are still important today. In some cases, controversies remain, ranging from the depiction of Myles Standish on the Massachusetts flag to statues of Nathan Bedford Forrest. The book includes some never-reported information on the Battle for the Burma Road and the role of Pennsylvania militia in the War of 1812.

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.
