Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Navy of the United States of America, Vol. 2 of 2 The government soon became aware of the necessity of possessing some light cruisers, which arc to a marine, what the eyes and nerves are to the physical formation of man. Without vessels of this character, a commander could never conduct a vigorous blockade, like that required before Tripoli, in particular; and a law passed February 1803, authorising the construction of two brigs and two schooners. In the course of the spring of that year, these vessels were built, and the navy received an addition to its list, of the Argus 10, Siren 10, Nautilus 12, and Vixen 12. The two former were beautiful and very efficient brigs, mounting 16 twenty-four-pound carronades, and 2 long twelves; and the two latter were schooners, carrying 12 eighteen-pound carronades, and 2 light long guns, each. They were all finely modelled and serviceable vessels of their size, and arc now intimately associated with the early traditions of the navy.

Book Description
Excerpt from The History of the Navy of the United States of America, Vol. 1 of 2 While biographies of naval men are usually replete with interest, on account of the hazards and stirring incidents of the sea, few general records of nautical events have been found to attract attention, beyond the value that is attached to naked facts. If such has been the case with most of the histories of even the marine of Great Britain, a service that admits of the unity and interest that belong to the operations of fleets, still more may it be looked for in the records of the isolated and simpler incidents of a navy like that of the United States. The difficulty of overcoming this great obstacle has been foreseen from the commencement of this work, and some attempts, that are connected with the arrangements of the subject, have been made to obviate it. The writer is far from flattering himself with entire success, for a history of detached combats is, in truth, a series of episodes, the mind scarcely becoming concentrated on one, when it is required to give its attention to another, while the connecting materials, according to the ordinary practice, are merely a dry detail of documents.

Book Description
Excerpt from A History of the United States Navy, Vol. 1 of 3: From 1775 to 1901 Our war with Spain has not only altered the map of the world, but it has materially enlarged the history of the United States navy. Not merely a few chapters, but an entire volume has been added, substantially changing the perspective in our naval history. In the present third edition of this work efforts have been made to do justice, not only to our wood and iron navies of the past, but to the later triumphs of our steel fleets. Many important changes, suggested by experience and later information, have been made in the text of Volumes I and II, so that it is believed the record of our navy from 1775 to 1866 as given in these two volumes is complete.

Excerpt from The Naval History of the United States, Vol. 2 Soon after this occurrence, a large party from Cockburn's fleet landed at Havre deg Grace, and, having driven away the few militia, captured and burned the town. Having accomplished this exploit, the marauders continued their way up the bay, and turning up into the Sassafras River ravaged the country on both sides of the little stream. After spreading distress far and wide over the beautiful country that borders Chesapeake Bay, the vandals returned to their ships, boasting that they had despoiled the Americans of at least seventy thousand dollars, and injured them to the amount of ten times that sum.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Historical Register of the United States, Vol. 2 From the disadvantages under which the army has laboured, the little navy of America has been entirely free. The previ' ous embarrassments of commerce rendered it easy for our naval officers to supply themselves with a sufficient number of seamen, and with men too who had all their lives been engaged in simi lar pursuits, and under the most rigorous discipline; for we apprehend that but little difference exists as to discipline and general habits between a merchantman and a ship of war. With these circumstances in view, then, while we rejoice over the brilliant exploits of our naval heroes, let us not doubt but that the American army, when it has overcome the difficulties which have arisen from the long peace with which the United States has been blessed, and from the very nature of its free political institutions, will show what can be achieved by freemen by land_as well as by sea.
