Excerpt from The American Battleship in Commission: As Seen by an Enlisted Man Also Many Man-O'-War YarnsThe entire contents of this book concern the Navy. I, the author, am an enlisted man. This preface is not to make excuses for my book, the work speaks for itself. Many sailors keep a log in which all important events are recorded. Were it not for the log which I have kept, I would undoubtedly have been unable to write this book, since much of the contents were derived from this record. My main object is to furnish the general 'public with as much information about the Navy as possible, and by having a plain education it has caused me to write the contents in a style of my own, but the book, however, contains the material.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
