. History and complete roster of the Massachusetts regiments, minute men of '61 who responded to the first call of President Abraham Lincoln, April 15, 1861, to defend the flag and Constitution of the United States ... and biographical sketches of minute men of Massachuetts . areful studyof oceanic highways, he calculated timescarefully in order to evade our cruisers,shifting hither and thither according to awell defined plan, and always arrangingfor coaling and supplies with greataccuracy. It is now nearly fifty years, a half cen-tuy, since the Civil War ended. Thewar-ships of our present Navy are in strik-ing contrast with the craft we were obligedto use in the days gone by. Huge float-ing forts have taken the place of themonitors and frigates, swift torpedo boatsand guns of wonderful capacity have sup-planted the weaker armaments of thepast. But no record today of personal valorcan surpass that which was often manifes-ted by the officers and men of our Navyin that notable struggle. We must givecredit by what was achieved amid greatobstacles. In that light we maj say inconclusion, that there is hardly a noblerhistory of naval defence and offence thanthat displayed by our union tars, fromadmirals to mess-boys, in the war for theUnion.
