Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Admiral Porter
The writer wishes to express his thanks to many kind friends in the service, who have aided him greatly with advice and suggestions, and in some cases with facts drawn from their personal experience. It is impossible to name all of them, but he would particularly mention his obligations to rear-admirals Greer, Walker, Ram say, and Selfridge, who were with Admiral Porter in the Mississippi, and also to rear-admiral Bartlett, and Cap tains Chadwick and Emory. He is particularly indebted to the kind assistance of Mr. Charles W. Stewart, the superintendent of the Naval War Record Office.
