Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Confederate States Ram, Merrimac or Virginia, Vol. 20: The History of Her Plan and Construction, and Her Engagements With the United States Fleet, March 8 and 9, 1862 The thirtieth anniversary of the engagements of the Merrimac in Hampton Roads is near at hand. Those of us who were lads at that time are nearing the fifties - have passed into "the sere and yellow leaf" - and a few more years will have gathered the last survivors to the silence of the ages. Having your encouragement, and having been an eye-witness and participator as an officer of the Confederate States Navy in these eventful actions, I shall attempt, briefly, to place before your readers such facts as came within my observation, which to-day seem as fresh and as vivid as they did thirty years ago. May I "nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice?" About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
