COMMENTS.
“There are passages in this book which are as strong and captivating as the work of the best writers of the day; to mariners and those who love the sea and ships these tales will appeal irresistibly.
“Each story is a gem by itself. It is told with a directness and a strength which carries conviction. All are based upon actual occurrences, Mr. Barnes tells us, and while some of the incidents related may come under the head of tradition, yet most of them are historical facts, and he has worked up each tale so cleverly, so compactly, so entertainingly, that they may, one and all, be taken for models of their kind.”—Seaboard.
“Good stories well told are those of ‘Yankee Ships and Yankee Sailors,’ They deal with the gallant defenders of such vessels as the Chesapeake, the Vixen, the fiery little Wasp, and grand ‘Old Ironsides.’ All the stories are told in a spirited style that will quicken the blood and the love of country in every Yankee heart.”—New England Magazine.
