1856 History of US Navy James Fenimore Cooper War of 1812 Naval MAPS Military
"Every trail has its end, and every calamity brings its lesson!"
― James Fenimore Cooper
James Fenimore Cooper is one of the most prolific and important American authors of the 19th-century. In addition to his writing career, he served in the United States Navy which lead him to publish his own historical perspective on the U.S. Navy, a work that he had worked on for more than a decade prior to its 1839 American release. Even though 'The History of the Navy' was highly criticized, Cooper is one of the foremost authoritative authors on the U.S. Navy.
This fine, American edition describes all the wars, battles, and sea engagements of American warships from the Revolutionary War and late 18th-century through 1856 – the year this edition was published – covering the Battle at Tripoli and important battles in the War of 1812.
