Pictorial Wraps Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Edition. A FINE, like-new, bright, clean, tight copy sans flaws. "The decisive American naval victory on Lake Erie 10 September 1813 produced two significant developments which directly affected the outcome of the War of 1812. The victory crushed British naval strength in the Old Norhwest, enabling the American army and its supplies to be transported simply and efficiently to the Canadian mainland." ILLUSTRATED in black & white etchings, drawings and maps with accompanying descriptive captions. "With the exception of a short, three-hour span on Lake Erie, Perry's life and naval career were anything but spectacular. But as a result of those three hours he will always be remembered in American History as the hero of Lake Erie, and his unforgettable words "We have met the enemy and they are ours," will be immortalized in naval lore. However, the real story of the battle belongs to those little remembered sailors and soldiers who fought, suffered, and in many cases, died. With little recognition and only their prize money to comfort them they soon faded into obscurity." 38 pages. GFC12.
