Excerpt from The History of the Navy of the United States of America, Vol. 1 of 2 While biographies of naval men are usually replete with interest, on account of the hazards and stirring incidents of the sea, few general records of nautical events have been found to attract attention, beyond the value that is attached to naked facts. If such has been the case with most of the histories of even the marine of Great Britain, a service that admits of the unity and interest that belong to the operations of fleets, still more may it be looked for in the records of the isolated and simpler incidents of a navy like that of the United States. The difficulty of overcoming this great obstacle has been foreseen from the commencement of this work, and some attempts, that are connected with the arrangements of the subject, have been made to obviate it. The writer is far from flattering himself with entire success, for a history of detached combats is, in truth, a series of episodes, the mind scarcely becoming concentrated on one, when it is required to give its attention to another, while the connecting materials, according to the ordinary practice, are merely a dry detail of documents.

Excerpt from Paul Jones, Vol. 1 of 2: Founder of the American Navy, a History To the average student of American history, men tion of our Revolutionary Navy instantly suggests the name of Paul Jones, and no other. Yet, not withstanding such singular distinction as a gener ality, but little is correctly known in detail as to the actual life and the real character of the man. The daily lives, the individual incidents, and the per sonal characters of our other very great men in that epoch are as Open books. These men spent their lives in our country, and after they had passed away the materials for their histories were left in friendly hands.

Excerpt from Brief Sketch of the Naval History of the United States Coast Guard: With Citations of Various Statutes Defining Its Military Status From 1790 to 1922 The Act approved February 25, 1799 An Act for the aug mentation of the Navy contained the following: sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That the President of the United States shall be, and is hereby authorized to place on the naval establishment, and employ accordingly, all or any of the vessels, which, as revenue cutters have been increased in force and employed in the defense of the seacoasts, pursuant to the Act, entitled 'an Act providing a naval armament, ' and thereupon, the officers and crews of such vessels, may be allowed, at the discretion of the Presi dent of the United States, the pay, subsistence, advantagesand compensations, proportionably to the rates of such vessels, and shall be governed by the rules and discipline which are, or which shall be, established for the Navy of the United States. The Act of March 2, 1799, provided that the crew of a cut ter should consist of not more than 70 men including non commissioned officers, gunners, and mariners. The same Act also provided that the cutters shall, whenever the President of the United States shall so direct, cooperate with the Navy of the United States, during which time they shall be under the direction of the Secretary of the Navy, and the expense thereof shall be defrayed by the agents of the Navy Department. Vessels of the Coast Guard have been armed, their crews have been drilled, they have had strict naval discipline since 1790. The Service has played a distinguished part in every war in which this country has been engaged, with the exception only of the War with Tripoli. During the difficulties with France in 1798 and 1799, the records show that 8 cutters (1 sloop, 5 schooners, and 2 brigs) operated along our southern coast in the Caribbean Sea, and among the West India Islands. The 2 brigs, and 2 of the schooners carried each 14 guns, and 70 men, the sloop, and the other schooners had each 10 guns, and 34 men. Of the 22 prizes taken during that period 18 were captured by cutters unaided, and they assisted in the capture of 2 others. The cutter Pick ering made two cruises to the West Indies and captured 10 prizes, one of which carried 44 guns and 200 men-three times her own force.
