Excerpt from Autobiography of George Dewey: Admiral of the NavyIt was my fortune to be in command on May 1, 1898, of an American squadron in the first important naval action against a foreign foe since the War of 1812. The morning that we steamed into Manila Bay marked an epoch in the history of our navy and in that of our country in its relations with other great nations. A battle in a harbor whose name was unknown to our average citizen made us a world-power, with a resultant impetus to the national imagination and a new entail of national responsibilities. My orders were to capture or destroy the enemy's force, and to conduct offensive operations in the Philippine Islands. These orders I endeavored to obey with all possible expedition, in keeping with the traditions of our navy.After the battle I received so many requests from publishers and editors for contributions in any form under my name that I might well have concluded that the victory which had come as the climax of my naval career was about to embark me on a literary career, toward which I naturally had the disinclination of a man of action.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A great autobiography By J. FERRARA It is a great idea to read the lives of great people. This autobiography is a very rare one because Admiral George Dewey does not use it as a self serving attempt to increase him to higher then life as other autobiographies do. He seems to be humble and plain while describe the events of his life with blowing them up to make him look larger then life.His description of the various events is well informed and researched. He tells you as it happened, not as he wished it to happen. In his recollection of the being made commander of the Asiatic fleet, he explains why he was not made Commodore like other commanders with out any bitterness. It seemed like he just accepted the fact that the Secretary of the Navy do not feel that he should be a Commodore yet.This is a great read for those who like the Navy and those who like history especially from the Civil War to the Spanish American War.Enjoy
