Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The number of living representatives of The Greatest Generation becomes fewer with each passing year, and with their diminution comes the relegation of their extraordinary experiences to second and third hand recounting – an inherited oral tradition more suitable to mythology than true history. Rarely, one of them creates a memoir of first-hand recollections, framing major events in history with personal perspective and eyewitness urgency. Fletcher Manning's book is such a memoir, tracing the extraordinary events in the first half of the Twentieth Century with a distinctly personal hand while reviewing the historical content of a bygone age with clarity and journalistic conciseness. Fletcher Manning was born in the rural America of the early Twentieth Century. The eldest son of North Carolinian farmers, he was born at the height of the First World War, grew up in The Great Depression, and, as a young man, distinguished himself in the Second World War while forging a new, more urbane kind of life for himself and his family. While serving as an officer in the US Navy, he became the first member of his family ever to earn a liberal arts degree, and upon leaving the Navy after thirty years of service, established himself in a second career as a teacher of history. In everything he undertook he ascended to leadership, always by merit, never by ambition. His life was defined by service – to country, to faith, and to family.

Download or read book The Manning of the Royal Navy written by John Selwyn Bromley and published by [London] : Navy Records Society. This book was released on 1976 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How should the Royal Navy be manned? Was impressment the best answer to this question? Was the seizure of men off the streets by Press Gangs acceptable to a freedom-loving society? What was the alternative? This issue provoked considerable debate, especially with reference to the Georgian and Victorian Navy, and attracted the attention, not only of naval officers to whom it was an essential matter of vital concern, but also of politicians, administrators, and influential voices in the City and the Press. Professor Bromley examines this important subject through the medium of twenty-five separate and complete pamphlets that were written and publicly circulated between 1693 and 1873. The authors of these pamphlets range from admirals, captains, commanders, lieutenants, and a naval chaplain to a City liveryman, a Middlesex JP, and celebrated philanthropist. Biographies of these authors are provided.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overturns the generally held view that the press gang was the main means of recruiting seamen by the British navy in the late eighteenth century. SHORTLISTED for the Society for Nautical Research's prestigious Anderson Medal. The press gang is generally regarded as the means by which the British navy solved the problem of recruiting enough seamen in the late eighteenth century. This book, however, based on extensive original research conducted primarily in a large number of ships' muster books, demonstrates that this view is false. It argues that, in fact, the overwhelming majority of seamen in the navy were there of their own free will. Taking a long view across the late eighteenth century but concentrating on the period of the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars of 1793-1815, the book provides great detail on the sort of men that were recruited and the means by which they were recruited, and includes a number of individuals' stories. It shows how manpower was a major concern for the Admiralty; how the Admiralty put in place a range of recruitment methods including the quota system; how it worried about depleting merchant shipping of sufficient sailors; and how, although most seamen were volunteers, the press gang was resorted to, especially during the initial mobilisation at the beginning of wars and to find certain kinds of particularly skilled seamen. The book also makes comparisons with recruitment methods employed by the navies of other countries and by the British army. J. Ross Dancy is Assistant Professor of History at Sam Houston State University.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A fundamental component of Britain’s early success, naval impressment not only kept the Royal Navy afloat—it helped to make an empire. In total numbers, impressed seamen were second only to enslaved Africans as the largest group of forced laborers in the eighteenth century. In The Evil Necessity, Denver Brunsman describes in vivid detail the experience of impressment for Atlantic seafarers and their families. Brunsman reveals how forced service robbed approximately 250,000 mariners of their livelihoods, and, not infrequently, their lives, while also devastating Atlantic seaport communities and the loved ones who were left behind. Press gangs, consisting of a navy officer backed by sailors and occasionally local toughs, often used violence or the threat of violence to supply the skilled manpower necessary to establish and maintain British naval supremacy. Moreover, impressments helped to unite Britain and its Atlantic coastal territories in a common system of maritime defense unmatched by any other European empire. Drawing on ships’ logs, merchants’ papers, personal letters and diaries, as well as engravings, political texts, and sea ballads, Brunsman shows how ultimately the controversy over impressment contributed to the American Revolution and served as a leading cause of the War of 1812.
