The second volume of this authoritative biography of America's
first admiral examines the last ten years of David Glasgow
Farragut's life, which included the ever-fascinating period of the
Civil War. Farragut was as carefully methodical in preparation for
battle as he was fearlessly swift in the execution of his plans. In
Our First Admiral, the reader will learn of gross inefficiency and
waste in the conduct of war, in the North as well as the South; of
jealous ambition and malicious criticism; of lukewarm support of
the government, lack of cooperation between the Army and Navy, and
the inroads upon morale made by war weariness and disease, all of
which tried Farragut's courage as much as the enemy in battle.
Farragut was a practical resourceful leader with vision and
intuition (a rare combination), a courageous hard-hitting fighter
who hated war, and a deeply religious man with an exuberant spirit
and love of fellowship who was also exceedingly loyal to the Navy
and his country. Though he was small in physical stature, Farragut
was tall indeed in the fundamental characteristics of true manhood.
