Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

[2], 280, [2] pages. Frontis Illustration. Decorative front cover. Illustrations. Some weakness at front and back hinges. Some cover wear. Edgar Stanton Maclay (18 April 1863, - 2 November 1919) was an American journalist and historian. He was a reporter on the Brooklyn Times (1886-1890) and on the New York Tribune (1891-1893); served on the editorial staff of the Tribune (1893-1895) and on that of the New York Sun (1895-1896). He was was the author of History of the United States Navy, which occasioned controversy and brought about his dismissal from government employ, by order of President Roosevelt, in 1901.

As a standard of naval excellence for the emulation of younger officers, the career of Philip is unsurpassed and cannot fail of beneficial results. During the Spanish-American War, his ship led the attack and silenced the fort on Cayo del Toro, Guantanamo Bay, on 15 June 1898. On 3 July 1898, in command of Texas, he participated in the Battle of Santiago de Cuba, in which Pascual Cervera y Topete's Spanish Fleet was destroyed off Santiago de Cuba. Presumed First Edition, First printing thus. …
