Octavo, gray cloth (hardcover), blue spine label, gilt letters, xvii, 558 pp. Very Good, with light rubbing to covers; in a Good, mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes light chipping. From dustjacket: This is the narrative of the American Navy in the Atlantic from the days of neutrality patrol to the crossing of the Rhine. Now the complete story can be told of duty in the frigid waters off Iceland and Greenland, the "Killer Groups" in the action that destroyed Germany's U-boat power, and the great, amphibious landings in Africa, Sicily and Italy, Normandy, and Southern France. This volume tells the story of how the Navy convoyed the largest expeditionary forces in history across 3,000 miles of water and landed them on coasts bristling with Nazi guns and crack troops. Battle Report: The Atlantic War is taken from the official sources of our Navy and the navies of our allies, rich with information and fact revealed for the first time; ships by name, for instance, precise accounts of damage sustained both by ourselves and the enemy, losses, expert appraisals of actions. It contains unique pictographic maps which show ship dispositions, courses, points of bomb, gun and torpedo attack -- in short, the tactics of each engagement; in it also are scores of hitherto restricted photographs. The book concludes with a list of all citations for naval action in the Atlantic. Military History, Second World War, WWII, World War II. yslic.

Provenance: with the ownership inscription of the explorer "A.W. Whipple Pacific R'Way" on the front free endpaper. First edition of part one, and a later edition of part II. FROM THE LIBRARY OF AMIEL WEEKS WHIPPLE, and used by him in preparation for his monumental survey of a railway route along the 35th parallel. In 1849, after completing work with the Northeastern Boundary Survey, Whipple was assigned to the Mexican Boundary Survey team. "The peace treaty with Mexico was recently signed, and the group was exploring great lengths of land unknown to Americans and Europeans. With the northern and southern borders established and the discovery of gold in California, the United States Congress saw the need for exploration of the interior lands. There was much discussion of a super highway for travelers to safely navigate from the Mississippi River to the pacific coastline. By an act of Congress, Secretary of War Jefferson Davis was charged to conduct surveys for the first transcontinental railroad route to the Pacific Ocean, near the 35th parallel. Five teams were sent, the Northern, Central, and coastal Pacific surveys were commissioned along with two Southern Pacific survey teams, one of which was led by Lt. Whipple. The journals of this expedition are very thorough and contain details regarding supplies, the hiring of cooks and assistants, as well as environmental, topographical, and cultural observations. Whipple kept records with meticulous detail, often writing while on horseback or aboard a train, evident through his varied penmanship. "The survey party reached Oklahoma Territory on Friday July 15, 1853. After a lengthy crossing of the Poteau River, the wooden cart which carried men, supplies and surveying equipment, ran into a tree stump and was broken. A summer storm crept up on the team and Lt. Whipple soon found himself walking through knee deep puddles on the prairie. Sunday provided a day of rest for the men and the animals, and by Tuesday July 19, the team had arrived at the Choctaw Agency. Surveying the land and observing the inhabitants gave Lt. Whipple many things to write about, and his journal entries for the month of August are extensive and illustrate his view of the prairie (Jennifer Silvers Oklahoma Historical Society). Stephen Long, the author of this invaluable guide, had led a famous expedition into the trans-Mississippi West, originally called the "Yellowstone Expedition". The Long Expedition was the third major American exploration into the trans-Mississippi West, following Lewis and Clark, and Pike, and much had been expected of him. Unfortunately funding for the expedition was withdrawn in 1821 before all objectives could be met, although it did succeed in founding the myth of the "Great American Desert" which appears to the West of the Rocky Mountains on the map of the "Country drained by the Mississippi Western Section" and which is "frequented by roving bands of Indians who have no fixed places of residence but roam from place to place in quest of game". Long was subsequently assigned to aid the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, America's first commercial railroad, in surveying and overcoming problems facing the company in the progress of the new route. "Long, who was eminently qualified because of his western explorations, became a director in the company and supervised the early surveys. This manual, the result of his experience, is a detailed system of rules for the surveying of a railroad with a discussion of the geometric principles and geodetic problems peculiar to railroads, and with the necessary Mathematical Tables. Included are descriptions of instruments, camp-equipage, and personnel necessary for field operations" (Robinson 77-226).

Vendeur : Rulon-Miller Books (ABAA / ILAB), St. Paul, MN, Etats-Unis
Folio (13" x 8½"); pp. [284]; original full calf, roll-tooled borders on covers, red morocco label on spine reading: "Journal," black morocco label on front cover reading: "S. B. Wilson. Lieut. U. S. Navy"; the binding is sound and the manuscript is in a small, neat hand, in ink; very legible. In a custom clamshell box, morocco label on spine. An unpublished manuscript journal of the maiden voyage of the U.S. frigate Potomac kept by one of her two senior lieutenants, Stephen Bayard Wilson (1795-1863) of Clermont, Columbia County, New York on the Hudson River, who first went to sea as a deckhand at the age of fourteen on a ship bound for Calcutta. Potomac, a 1726-ton frigate with a complement of 480 officers and men and armed with 42 thirty-two pounders and 8 eight-inch guns, set sail on her round-the-world cruise flying the pennant of the War of 1812 veteran Commodore John Downes. Downes' original orders did not include a circumnavigation of the globe. He was to deliver Martin Van Buren to England as the American Minister to that country, then proceed via Rio de Janeiro and Cape Horn to Valparaiso where he was to assume command of United States Naval Forces in the Pacific. However, news of the plundering of Salem merchant ship Friendship and the murder of several of her crew in February 1831 by Sumatran natives of Quallah Battoo persuaded President Andrew Jackson to instead redirect the Potomac to "repair at once to Sumatra, by way of the Cape of Good Hope" to atone for this "wanton outrage" - making this the earliest overt example of Gunboat Diplomacy in American history. Potomac would return to Boston three years later having become the first ship in the United States Navy to circumnavigate of the globe from West to East. Wilson's remarks are kept in a journal format, more of a diary than a proper seaman's log. There are no pages dedicated to 24 hours of recorded speeds, wind direction, or courses sailed, etc. (although these pieces of information are often duly recorded in the daily narrative). It's easy to read, understand, and track the voyage day to day. On 26 August 1831, the date the ship weighed anchor and sailed from New York, Lieutenant Wilson records a "List of officers attached to the U. S. Frigate Potomac on her departure from New York the 26th August 1831." Included are Commodore John Downes, Lieutenants Irvine Shubrick, Stephen B. Wilson, Reuben R. Pinkham, Henry Hoff and Jonathan Ingersoll, Asst. Surgeon Jonathan M. Foltz, Schoolmaster Francis Warriner, and Sailing Master Benjamin Totten, a supernumerary en route to join the schooner Dolphin in the Pacific. Lieutenants Shubrick and Wilson were the two senior lieutenants sharing the same date of promotion to that rank on 13 January 1825. Lieutenant Wilson, the author of the journal, rose to rank of Captain in 1855 and died in 1863. Lieutenant Hoff rose to the rank of Rear Admiral in 1867. Of the remaining lieutenants none rose above the rank of commander. The journal opens with a single page containing an abstract log of the entire voyage from leaving New York on 26 August 1831 to arriving in Boston on 23 May 1834, continues with Lieutenant Wilson's orders to report to the Potomac and follows with 3 years of day-by-day descriptions of occurrences including reports of weather, shipboard activities, sail handling and navigation, visits with, or mentions of, ships met (including many whalers, usually giving vessel name, home port, months at sea and amount of oil), provisioning and watering, official and ceremonial visits, deaths, etc. The Potomac sailed from New York to the Cape Verde Islands, then proceeded to Rio de Janeiro, St. Paul, Quallah Battoo (Sumatra), Batavia (Java), Macao, Canton, Oahu, Tahiti, Callao, Valparaiso, Coquimbo, Callao, Paita, the Galapagos Islands, Paita, Callao, Valparaiso, Rio de Janeiro and ended in Boston. In all, over the course of her 3-year journey, the Potomac traveled 61,816 miles. The attack on the natives of Quallah Battoo occurs early in this journal, and is described in considerable detail, beginning with the dispatch and initial approach of an American landing party on February 6, 1832. Lieutenant Wilson writes, "at 9 the Expedition returned from the shore, having destroyed the Forts and left the Town in flames, and bringing the bodies of Wm P. Smith, sea[man], killed, and Benjn T. Brown, Marine killed, together with the following wounded. [a list of 8 men follows]. He goes on to describe the bombardment by "Potomac's" guns two days later, completing the destructive work of the landing party, and leaving the entire settlement in flames . At 2 [pm] observed the Forts on shore had hoisted White Flags." On February 9, an emissary from the settlement came aboard to discuss "a cessation of Hostility." After the battle, the Americans remained in the vicinity for several more days, taking on wood and water and performing maintenance, until their departure for Batavia on February 18th. In all, Wilson writes about 1750 words covering their engagement at Quallah Battoo. The Dictionary of American Naval Fighting Ships states, "Of the 282 sailors and Marines who landed, two were killed while 150 natives, including the village chieftain, Po Mahomet, died for their piracy." Potomac arrived in Batavia at the end of March, then proceeded to Macao, arriving in mid-May. After taking on fresh provisions and visiting Canton, they sailed for Hawaii, reaching Woahoo (Oahu) by the end of July, where they received King Kamehameha on board. On August 5, Wilson writes, "Received a visit from His Majesty Tamehameha 3rd, King of the Sandwich Islands and suite, Saluted him with 21 Guns." (This, incidentally, was the first entertainment of royalty aboard a U. S. Navy ship.) In recognition of the honor, King Kamehameha presented the Potomac with 40 hogs. From Hawaii, they went on to Tahiti and, on September 19, "the Queen Dowager of the Island visited the ship." Then on to the west coast of South America - Callao, Va.
