Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Admiral Porter Notwithstanding the high place which Admiral Porter fills in our naval annals, the record of his life has never before been written. The present work was undertaken in fulfilment of his wish. In addition to the official documents and correspondence which form the basis of the work, the writer has availed himself, when practicable, of the published narratives of officers who took part in the Civil War. Many of the events referred to were also the subject of conversation and discussion with the Admiral himself during the last years of his life. The writer wishes to express his thanks to many kind friends in the service, who have aided him greatly with advice and suggestions, and in some cases with facts drawn from their personal experience. It is impossible to name all of them, but he would particularly mention his obligations to Rear-Admirals Greer, Walker, Ramsay, and Selfridge, who were with Admiral Porter in the Mississippi, and also to Rear-Admiral Bartlett, and Captains Chadwick and Emory. He is particularly indebted to the kind assistance of Mr. Charles W. Stewart, the superintendent of the Naval War Record Office.
