Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History of the United States Marine Corps In writing a History of the Marine Corps, two objects have been kept in view: To faithfully complete a heretofore unwritten chapter in our national record, and to bring more prominently to the attention of the country a history of services whose importance has failed to meet with that general recognition which it merits. While there has been no lack of historians to record the deeds of the Regular Army and Navy, the Marine Corps, as a distinctive branch of the national service, has been forced heretofore to depend mainly for its history on the casual, and oftentimes incomplete, mention contained in naval reports and other official documents. Much of the information on which the present work is based, is, of course, obtained from these sources; but, in order to make the record complete, it has been necessary to spend many months in the examination of the national archives, and in the gathering of stray items of information from widely separated sources. The aid of government officials, and of the officers of the Corps, as well as of other friends, has proved of the utmost importance in obtaining many facts, without which the work would be lacking in that completeness which it has been the effort of the author to secure. Every available source of information has been made to contribute to the work, and valuable aid has been derived from Cooper´s and other naval histories.
