AND ALSO ASSURE THEM THAT THE AUTHOR IS STILL ALIVE TO THE GREAT SERVICES THEY ALL PERFORMED, THE SACRIFICES THEY MADE, AND THE SMALL REWARDS THAT WERE RECEIVED BY THOSE WHO SO STEADFASTLY FOUGHT AN INTELLIGENT FOE THAT THIS UNION MIGHT BE PRESERVED TO MILLIONS YET UNBORN. PREFACE THE Naval incidents of the "War of 1812 with Great Britain are better understood to-day by the great mass of American readers than are the naval incidents of the Civil War between the northern and seceding States, which lasted from 1SG1 to 1865. In the WTar of 1S12 half a dozen frigates and a dozen sloops of war on the ocean, and three small squadrons on the lakes, made up about the sum total of our Navy afloat when the war commenced, and those vessels performed such marvelous exploits, considering the great superiority in ships of Great Britain, that the events, comparatively few in number, have impressed themselves indelibly on the mind of every schoolboy who read of them in books that were put in their hands at an early age : events that were taught them as part of the history of a nation which, previous to that time, had not paid much attention to the Navy, or even calculated that it would become so famed. Since that era the Navy of the United States has been making history for the country on a scale almost bewildering, and could the old pioneer captains of 1812 have been permitted to look on from their present abode (wherever that may be), we doubt not but that they would have been astonished at the large fleets we were putting afloat with such wonderful rapidity; and they would also have acknowledged that their descend- ants had nobly borne themselves in the war for the salvation of this Union, which was as dear to our forefathers as it is to us at the present time. A man who undertakes to write a history of the naval events of such a war as we were forced into, has a great responsibility resting upon him. He has to be careful of his statements and the sources from which he obtains them; as a person has a right to know before he purchases a book, whether the facts stated for his perusal are taken from substantial authority, or from the common traditions which have been passed down from decade to decade, and have been finally accepted as truth. History could not be properly written after such a fashion as the latter; it must be taken from the official naval records of the times, which, with but rare exceptions, have been found to be remarkably correct. Many of them — indeed nearly all — have been writ- ten by persons holding the most prominent positions in command, who have left the stories of their achievements written in that truthful language which carries conviction with it. No naval officer during the war would have dared to write any thing in his official reports that was not strictly correct, for there were too many witnesses (and interested ones) who would not have hesitated to impeach the veracity of any officer who made anything but a proper report. As far as it goes this history is made up from the official record of the Navy, and the author has endeavored as far as possible to confine himself strictly to naval mat- ters, except in cases where the Army and Navy co-operated. Several books claiming to be naval histories were written directly after the war, but as a rule these were of a partisan character, not written particularly to do justice to the Navy but to give credit to particular individuals who had a good deal to do in the matter of ensuring success, and who no doubt deserved much of the praise that was bestowed upon them; but in all cases the authors lost sight of the main object of the history, and that is to do justice to all, and not allow themselves to be diverted from the true facts because they may have had official relations with those they took care 'v PREFACE. to applaud. There was too much of this in some histories which dwelt so much on the virtues of the heads of departments that they forgot to do justice to those who fought the battles. In all the histories the author has read there have been serious misrepresenta- tions, purposely printed and written with the intention to do harm to the reputation of some who deserved not only the highest praise from the government but the truth from impartial historians. While our Army has been written of by a thousand ready pens, the Navy has not. as a rule, been a popular theme for the historian, and now and then only do we meet with some well drawn story of the Navy and the benefits it conferred upon the country. Our Army was full of writers who could delineate in the most happy manner all the events that were transpiring around them — they were also ready with the pencil; the photographer, while he traveled with the arm;-, would spend his days in photograph- ing every noted scene, reprints of which were scattered broadcast over the Union, keeping the movements of our armies as clearly before the millions of people in the North as if the battles had been reflected in a mirror. The camp, the march, the bivouac, the battle-field were almost as familiar to the friends and relations of those in the field as if they had been on the spot, but there were no such means of bringing the Navy before the public. Naval ships did not travel with reporters, photographers or sketchers, there was no room for these on board ship, and if perchance some stray reporter should get on board, the discomfort of a man of war, the exacting discipline, and the freer life in camp sent him back to shore, where in most cases he only re- membered his associations with the Navy as a trip without any satisfaction, and with no desire to do justice to the work of the naval service. The author is quite aware that he may not possess all the requisites for a historian, but he thinks he can put the records in plain shape and write them down in plain Eng- lish, which on the whole is quite as much as has been done by others. The object will be to show how little the work of the Navy was appreciated by the people of this country, while they lavished all their attention on the Army. It is true our Armies were entitled to all that could be showered on them by a grateful people ; yet the part performed by the Navy when placed in its true light before the world, will show to ad- vantage compare it as you may with any other branch of public service. Time with unsparing hand has swept away nearly all the men who led our fleets to battle during the war. But one or two remain, while those who were in the flower of manhood when the war was at its worst, have reached the highest honors the country had to bestow, and with no more naval duty afloat to perform, except in time of war, when they can offer their services, none the less efficient for a green old age, are waiting calmly (enjoying the rest from the hardships of the past) to reap those higher rewards for duties well performed on earth, where the sounds of battle will no more be heard, and where the laurels they have gained will never wither — these officers must not be forgot- ten, and wish to be remembered. If this work does not satisfy public expectations, it may point out the way for some future historian, some patient, plodding man, who will delve into old closets and bureaux ii 1 1 1 il lie finds the missing links which may escape the heedless writer of this fast age. History is better written after the lapse of years, when those who have taken part in it have all passed away, when prejudices have all been laid aside, and when the historian knows nothing of the actors' deeds besides what is told in the records. But the present age is an impatient one. ami the young American who was not on the scene of action when civil discord plunged the country into the most bloody war the world ever saw, is anxious now to know all that occurred at the time that tried men's souls; they particu- larly desire io see how their forefathers deported themselves on fields of battle or in ships of war, and to become familiar with all the thrilling scenes which, though pleasant reading now. brought sorrow ami desolation to thousands of homes, homes where to this day they worship the memory of the loved one who left them in the vigor of manhood, and on whom they never looked again.
