Spanning the centuries from maritime activities before Columbus to the nation's maritime involvement today, this rich, complex archive provides a new history of the United States from the fundamental perspective of the sea that surrounds it, and the rivers and lakes that link its vast interior to the seacoast. 350 photos, 55 in color. 10 maps.
The most interesting History Class I could have ever taken with this book written by the 6 Maritime Historians of our lifetime and this was the first Book ever written and first History course offered in our State College for credited History course.
I would take the course over and over and never get bored. Maritime written by true Sailors. I feel honored to have this Text in my Research Library..And less expensive here than when in school.
