It is here that Mahan coins the term 'sea power' and in a masterly opening chapter defines the elements of this concept. Thereafter he embarks on a stage-by-stage analysis of the maritime conflicts that resulted in Britain's naval supremacy, illustrating his strategic assessments with a flood of examples. After some while in the doldrums, Mahan's reputation as a naval historian and strategist is once again on the rise.

pp. xxv, 188 + Frontis and map. 8vo. Original full cloth binding. Original priced dust jacket, rubbed and worn. Hardbound. Very good. On the 4th of July, 1791, a ten year-old boy, Oliver M. Spencer left his home to travel down river to Fort Washington, now Cincinnati, to celebrate the holiday. Returning home with another boy, they traveled first by canoe, and then on foot. After a short time, the party was set upon by Indians and Spencer soon found himself a captive. For several days, he was taken across country but treated with some kindness. After an attempted escape, he was recaptured when tempted by a patch of raspberries. On the 13th of July, the group reached the junction of the Auglaize and Maumee rivers_the site of Fort Defiance_where he was adopted into an Indian Family. He was later ransomed and ultimately reached relatives in New Jersey and finally his family in Columbia, on the Ohio River. The story was first told forty years after the events, in a piece written for publication in the Western Christian Advocate in 1834. Spencer had become a Methodist Episcopal minister and lived in Cincinnati. LOC W17
