About the Book

The Life of John Ancrum Winslow is a biography written by John Morris Ellicott in 1905. The book details the life of John Ancrum Winslow, a Rear-Admiral in the United States Navy who is best known for commanding the U.S. Steamer Kearsarge in her famous battle with the Confederate Cruiser Alabama during the American Civil War. The book covers Winslow's early life and education, his entry into the Navy, and his rise through the ranks. It also delves into his personal life, including his marriage and family, as well as his experiences during the Civil War. The centerpiece of the book is the battle between the Kearsarge and the Alabama, which took place off the coast of Cherbourg, France, in 1864. The book provides a detailed account of the battle, including the preparations made by Winslow and his crew, the tactics used during the engagement, and the aftermath of the battle. In addition to the battle, the book also covers Winslow's later years in the Navy, including his command of the North Atlantic Squadron and his service as the Superintendent of the United States Naval Academy. The book concludes with a tribute to Winslow's legacy and contributions to the Navy. Overall, The Life of John Ancrum Winslow is a comprehensive and engaging biography of one of the most important figures in the history of the United States Navy. It offers a detailed look at Winslow's life and career, as well as the pivotal role he played in one of the most famous naval battles of the Civil War.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
