Synopsis
Excerpt from Naval Heroes of Holland
The little work herewith offered to the youth of our land deals, in part, with the struggle of a republic of the past against the nation with which so recently our own great republic was at war. Indeed, much of what is here told was the beginning of that work which the United States was called upon in the providence of God, as the author cannot but believe, to finish, namely, the utter overthrow of Spain as a world-power. Some names will occur here that have become familiar dur ing our recent war and which may serve to awaken the greater interest in the perusal of these pages.
