Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Please do your homework before purchasing this book. Amazon's description of the book led me to believe that this book would primarily be Cushing's memoir. The first 17 pages are introduction, perhaps for the middle school audience that the book was intended, with Cushing's memoir accounting for about 50 pages. I do not know if that was Cushing's original length or if it was condensed for the school audience. The remaining half of the book is filler with period accounts about civil war naval engagements, mostly written by participants, Unlike Cushing's memoirs, those stories can be accessed on Google books. Had I known the true content, I most likely would not have purchased the book. At least I did not pay full price.
