Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the United States Navy, Vol. 3 of 3: From 1775 to 1901 In the preparation of this work the writer - as in Volumes I and II - has based his narrative solidly on official reports, both Spanish and American, of the commanders participating. Any material conflicting with these reports has been rejected. As a further safeguard, nearly every commanding officer concerned has read and corrected proof sheets dealing with actions in which each figured. It was this effort to obtain accuracy that has delayed the publication of this volume full twelve months, but the writer feels more than compensated for his failure to produce a "timely" work in the satisfaction of securing accuracy. It is remarkable how many mistakes - and in some cases glaring errors - have crept into popular accounts of our navy´s doings in the Spanish war. It might be supposed that events of such moment, occurring under our very eyes, would be properly and truthfully recorded. Such is not the case. Unsparing exertions have been made to set aright these misconceptions. That this work may be as complete as possible, the writer has devoted much time in ascertaining the middle names of our officers engaged in the war. These have been given in full - so far as they could be learned - in the index, and will be found convenient for future reference. In the collecting of material for this work the writer is especially indebted to Dr. Juan Garcia Puron for official records and authoritative items from Spanish sources.
