Product Information

Excerpt from The Photographic History of the Civil War in Ten Volumes, Vol. 6 of 10: The Navies The Civil War ships and the men who fought them are distinctive in naval history, t for immensity of single bat tles or extent of total destruction, but for diversity of action, the complete realization of the ironclad as a fighting vessel, and the development of the torpedo as a weapon of destruction. Readers are fortunate in finding, at the outset of this volume, the scholarly appreciation by Admiral Chadwick Of the essen tial part played by the navies in the war, while the battles at sea and on inland waters are described by Mr. Barnes with a vivid ness possible only to a naval historian to whom the sea and its sailors long have been Objects of sympathetic study. The photographic record of the great American con ict [11]is particularly striking in this volume. Never before has there been assembled such a pictorial and actual record Of eets and sailors, Union and Confederate. The stately frigate with walls of live-oak, the newly born ironclad, the swift blockade-runner, the commerce-destroying cruiser, which left its indelible mark on the American merchant marine less than on international law, and last, but t least, the actors in scenes of the great naval drama appear on the pages that follow, in an illustrated catalogue Of the ships that even Homer in his stately Iliad could have envied.
