"Every impartial reader mast recognize the ability with which it is composed, the sincerity with which his opinions are held, and the good faith with which they are set forth, and the value which it possesses as the authentic commentary on the most momentous episode in the history of the United States since their independence was acknowledged and their Constitution was framed."—London Athenæum.
Admiral Porter’s anecdotical reminiscences of the war are written in a graphic and animated style. They are always dramatic, often amusing, and give many unfamiliar inside views of events in that trying period. The contents relate to Events at Pensacola, the Attack on New Orleans, Ericsson and the Monitor, Ascending the Mississippi, the Siege of Vicksburg, General Grant at Vicksburg, Admiral Farragut, the Yazoo Pass Expedition, General Sherman, the Red River Expedition, Naval Battle at Grand Gulf, General Butler in New Orleans, Visit of President Lincoln to Richmond, and various other events of the war.
Some of the admiral’s experiences were certainly remarkable, and all are told with great gusto and spirit. Nothing more stirring and readable has been produced in the literature of the war.
