Joel Tyler Headley (December 30, 1813 - January 16, 1897) was an American clergyman, historian, author, newspaper editor, adventurer and politician who served as Secretary of State of New York. Headley belonged to the American Party. He graduated from Union College in 1839 and took a course in theology at the Auburn Theological Seminary in Auburn, New York. After being ordained, he preached at Stockbridge, Massachusetts, but soon had to give up his profession due to the strain, going to Europe in 1842. He turned to history writing, producing many works on various subjects. His writings were among the first to call attention to the Adirondack Mountains as a health resort, and his best-known work is The Chaplains and Clergy of the Revolution. He later accepted the solicitations of Horace Greeley and became associate editor of the New York Tribune. Headley selected Newburgh, New York as his country seat; its close proximity to New York City and upstate New York was appealing. Outside of the city boundary, in the mostly rural town of New Windsor, Headley purchased approximately 13 acres of land in the summer of 1850. Headley was a member of the New York State Assembly (Orange Co., 1st D.) in 1855; and was New York Secretary of State from 1856 to 1857, elected on the American Party ticket at the 1855 New York state election. This is the first biography of David Farragut! (Nevins)! Joel T. Headley, an American historical author, was known for his biographical works on important American military leaders, such as Grant and Sherman. His major contribution, of course, is his account of the Civil War, entitled The Great Rebellion . His other Civil War writings expanded his military focus beyond the land-based campaigns and their leaders. Farragut and Our Naval Commanders is awash with heroes of the Sea. This work deals exclusively with all aspects of the American Navy from Admirals and Ship Captains, their ships, the types of guns used on the warships, the wars that the Navy played roles in, as well as details of some of the earliest combat vessels: The Monitor, Galena, and Ironsides. The naval officer biographies include: Admiral Farragut, Rear-Admiral S. H. Dahlgren, Rear-Admiral L. M. Goldsborough, Rear-Admiral S. H. Stringham, Rear-Admiral C.H. Davis, Commodore W. D. Porter, Captain C. S. Boggs, Lieutenant W.B. Cushing, Rear-Admiral S. F. Dupont, Rear-Admiral A. H. Foote, Vice-Admiral David D. Porter, Rear-Admiral Hiram Paulding, Commodore J. A. Winslow, Commodore Charles Wilkes, Commodore J. L. Worden, Commodore T. Bailey, Captain P. Drayton, and Colonel Charles Ellet. During the American Civil War, Charles Ellet received a commission as colonel and created and commanded the United States Ram Fleet, a Union Army unit of ram ships converted from commercial steamers. His ram ships played a critical role in the Union naval victory at the First Battle of Memphis. Sold Only By Subscription--Presumed First Edition, First Printing.…
