Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Extracts From Private Journal-Letters of Captain S. F. Dupont: While in Command of the Cyane, During the War With Mexico, 1846-1848 They will give some glimpses of the principles, convictions, and traits of character that were the sources of his success, and of the respect, affection, and confidence he inspired. From a child, his highest ambition was to do right; to use the abilities and opportunities given him in the best manner, and be thoroughly efficient in every duty. He valued commendation only as an encouragement to these endeavors, and a pleasure and satisfaction to his parents and friends. Every success was but an incentive to do better; and his highest earthly reward was the approbation of those he loved. A brief synopsis of the cruise of the Cyane, found among his papers (and given at the request of Admiral C.R. P.Rodgers to the United States Naval Institute), induced a reperusal of the letters of that period, and gave the impulse to the extracts following.
