General Henry Lockwood of Delaware: Shipmate of Melville, Co-builder of the Naval Academy, Civil War Commander
No Customer Reviews
Based on a treasure trove of newly discovered information, General Henry Lockwood of Delaware: Shipmate of Melville, Co-builder of the Naval Academy, Civil War Commander offers the first comparative study of Lockwood's seminal influence on the emergence of the U.S. Naval Academy. Colonel Matthews shines new light on the Civil War commander, with a description of Lockwood's duties during the Seminole Indian War, an analysis of Melville's depiction of Professor Lockwood, a critical discussion of Alfred Thayer Mahan's depiction of Lockwood, and a tactical reconstruction of Commodore Jones's seizure of Monterey. Matthews inverts Lockwood's unjust historical reputation by offering a comprehensive defense of Lockwood's actions at Cold Harbor and an unblinking expos of the reprehensible conduct of corps commander Governor Warren in relieving him.
