Excerpt from The Life and Achievements of Admiral Dewey: From Montpelier to Manila Nothing more to say. He had made up his mind at Manila as Farragut at Mobile, and the master stroke in the nineties was like an echo of that of the sixties. The daring Dewey was with Porter on the Colorado when our fleet bombarded Fort Fisher and prepared the way for the assault that won, and causing the disturbance of the Court of Inquiry Why Fort Fisher Had Not Been Taken, by the salute of one hundred guns fired because Fort Fisher had been taken. The cannonading of the fort by the fleet was a majestic display, one of the grandest that have jarred the globe, and, though the Confederates fought on, the guns of the navy, hurling tons of iron in showers, with the marksmanship that makes our gunners matchless, though not alone conclusive, battered the fort and covered the landing. The army and navy were hand in hand, as they should be, and there was enough glory to go around. The passing of Forts Jackson and St. Phillip on the Mississippi and the subjugation of New Orleans prevented the Confederates from breaking the blockade, for if they had completed the ironclads under way they could have held the mouths of the river. If Fort Fisher had not been taken the dangers of European intervention between the United States and the Confederacy would have been seriously increased. The events that closed the ports of New Orleans and Wilmington against European supplies for the Confederates announced the doom of the Confederacy almost as positively as the march of Sherman to the sea and the raid of Wilson through the Gulf States were the preliminaries of Appomattox. George Dewey participated gallantly in both the eventful operations that so decisively turned the scale in favor of the unity of the country in which all our countrymen now rejoice, and he was schooled for the coming time when his own achievements would obliterate sections and expand the nation. In the war of Giants that reached this auspicious result through tempests of battle and rivers of the blood of the brave, we find George Dewey at the front in glorious perils and events that shaped destiny from New Orleans to Wilmington, and we mark his footsteps from Montpelier to Manila. The country fondly waits to welcome the conquering hero home. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

An often overshadowed event in American military history, the Spanish-American War began as a humanitarian effort on the part of the United States to provide military assistance for the liberation of Cuba from Spanish domination. At the time, no one knew that this simple premise would result in an American empire. Through extensive research, Mark Barnes has created a comprehensive, annotated bibliography detailing this globally significant conflict and its aftermath. Insightful notes are included for every title in each chronologically organized chapter. By drawing together an impressive collection of sources, including some previously not readily available to English language readers, Barnes has created an invaluable resource for scholars of this conflict. Routledge Research Guides to American Military Studies provide concise, annotated bibliographies to the major areas and events in American military history. With the inclusion of brief critical annotations after each entry, the student and researcher can easily assess the utility of each bibliographic source and evaluate the abundance of resources available with ease and efficiency. Comprehensive, concise, and current—Routledge Research Guides to American Military Studies are an essential research tool for any historian.
