Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of Captain Geo; Hamilton Perkins: U. S. N Dear Isabel: Since the War of the Rebellion your father has been often applied to for information about the stirring times in which he bor such an active and gallant part. But as his profession required that he should be absent from his country on long cruises, or occupied with its duties when at home, he did not find time to attend to these applications, and they were therefore referred to me. I usually replied by sending extracts from his letters, together with such newspaper notices of him as we possessed, and of these latter I made and kept copies, as they would become worn by use, and ran the risk of being lost. In this way I learned to realize thoroughly what a brave and earnest man your father was, what devotion and energy he brought to the discharge of his duties, what a keen sense of honor and what a sincere and loyal heart he showed in his interpretation of the oath he had taken to defend his government and flag, and what a valiant soul he displayed in fighting their battles.
