Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the US Navy's development in the second half of the nineteenth century. The author was a member of the class of 1868 at the Naval Academy and details his experiences of a rapidly evolving Navy, from the last of the sailing ships through the transition to steam-powered ironclads. The memoir includes accounts of service in Alaska, the Asiatic Station, and provides a vivid first-hand account of the Korean Expedition of 1871, where the author was a participant. The author recounts the capture of forts, the expedition up the Yangtze River, and an audience with the Emperor of Japan. The author's experiences and insights provide a valuable perspective on the transformation of the US Navy during a critical period in its history.
