Description

152 p. : ill. ; 23 cm A University of Florida book Swamp sailors : riverine warfare in the Everglades 1835-1842 by George Buker. In developing a strategy of riverince warfare, United States Navy policy evolved from a defensive to an offensive position, from a society of highly individualistic and inflexible sea captains into a well-meshed cooperative unit capable of working not only alone but also with the army. Between 1835 and 1842, the navy came of age.
