Book Description
Excerpt from The Life and Services of John Newland Maffitt The "Life" to which these lines are the introduction is the outcome of a promise made by the writer to "Florie," eldest daughter of Capt. John N. Maffitt. She expressed to me, a year before she passed away, her great desire that I prepare for publication the life of her father. I urged my unfitness, or inability, for the task, but she insisted that I alone could prepare the record which the public had a right to expect because of the part which her father had taken in our great struggle. Her request was sealed by her sad death, but it was not until the passing of her father, two years later, that I was inspired to fulfil my promise, in part, by preparing his obituary notice. The urgent necessity of training and educating my young children compelled the postponement of any further effort in this direction, but not for one moment have I been unmindful of its demands. It has been ever before me as my life's work, a work to be done when other duties permitted the opportunity. My inspiration in this work has been to do justice to my husbands memory, and, as much as possible, to eliminate myself. Wherever he had uttered a word which memory retained, or left a written document or sentence, it has been set down. So far as possible he has spoken for himself. My work has been to bridge over any hiatus by explanation or comment, when such was necessary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Across North America's periphery, unknown and overlooked Civil War campaigns were waged over whether the United States or Confederacy would dominate lands, mines, and seaborne transportation networks of North America's mineral wealth. The U.S. needed this wealth to stabilize their wartime economy while the Confederacy sought to expand their own treasury. Confederate armies advanced to seize the West and its gold and silver reserves, while warships steamed to intercept Panama route ships transporting bullion from California to Panama to New York. United States forces responded by expelling Confederate incursions and solidified territorial control by combating Indigenous populations and enacting laws encouraging frontier settlement. The U.S. Navy patrolled key ports, convoyed treasure ships, and integrated continent-wide intelligence networks in the ultimate game of cat and mouse. This book examines the campaigns to control North America's mineral wealth, linking the Civil War's military, naval, political, diplomatic and economic elements. Included are the hemispheric land and sea adventures involving tycoon Cornelius Vanderbilt, admiral and explorer Charles Wilkes, renowned sea captain Raphael Semmes, General Henry Sibley, cowboy and mountain man Kit Carson, Indigenous leaders Mangas Coloradas and Geronimo, writer and miner Mark Twain, and Mormon leader Brigham Young.
