Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Life of Charles Henry Davis: Rear Admiral; 1807-1877 If an excuse be needed for a life of Admiral Davis twenty, years after his death, it may, perhaps, be found in the interest which now attaches, after the lapse of a generation of time, to the period of the civil war, and to even the most trivial circumstances connected with that momentous struggle. This interest will increase with the disappearance of the active participants in the war, so that the intimate biography of an officer who rose to immediate distinction, and who commanded in chief in the only general naval engagements fought during the whole four years of the war, cannot be considered, even now, as out of place, and may become in the future of real historical value. So much of this work as bears upon the period of the war is a mere transcription of the admiral´s private letters written at the time, with such notes as are necessary to give an appearance of continuity to a desultory private correspondence written for family perusal and with no idea of its publication.
