The Naval War of 1812 is a historical non-fiction book written by Theodore Roosevelt, the 26th President of the United States. The book was first published in 1882 and provides a detailed account of the naval battles and events that took place during the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain.The book is divided into three parts, each one covering a different aspect of the war. The first part covers the background and causes of the war, including the issues of impressment and trade restrictions. The second part focuses on the naval battles that took place on the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean, including the famous battles of Lake Erie and the USS Constitution's victory over HMS Guerriere. The third and final part of the book covers the end of the war and its aftermath, including the Treaty of Ghent and the impact of the war on American naval power.Throughout the book, Roosevelt provides detailed descriptions of the ships, commanders, and tactics used in each battle. He also offers his own analysis and opinions on the strategies employed by both sides. The book is considered a classic work on the subject and is still widely read and studied today.Overall, The Naval War of 1812 is a comprehensive and informative account of the naval aspect of the War of 1812, written by one of America's most famous presidents and historians.Chesapeake Bay became the principal scene of their operations; it was there that their main body collected, and their greatest efforts were made. In it a number of line-of-battle ships, frigates, sloops, and cutters had been collected, and early in the season Admiral Sir John Warren and Rear Admiral Cockburn arrived to take command. The latter made numerous descents on the coast, and frequently came into contact with the local militia, who generally fled after a couple of volleys. These expeditions did not accomplish much, beyond burning the houses and driving off the live-stock of the farmers along shore, and destroying a few small towns--one of them, Hampton, being sacked with revolting brutality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
