Illustrations by Louis Priscilla. 347,[3] pages, illustrations, cloth, very good. 1st edition. From the introduction: "Here is the story of the Navy itself - how it began; what it has been; and what it is today. Here, too, is the story of the American sailor - who he has been and who he is today; where he came from at first and where he comes from today; what he has done to the Navy; and what the Navy has done to him. This book, then, is an American naval review, in which almost two hundred years of American ships and sailors pass by."
