A propos de cet article

[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. This work includes Articles by: William McKinley, Alfred Thayer Mahan, John Davis Long, William Thomas Samson, Mary Philip Wheelock, David Howard Tribou, Henry B. F.

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.
