Life of Rear Admiral John Randolph Tucker

Life of Rear Admiral John Randolph Tucker is a classic American Civil war biography by James Henry Rochelle. In writing this biographical Civil War sketch I have performed not a task, but a labor of love, for I was, during many years, both in times of peace and of war, intimately associated with the distinguished sailor whose career I have attempted to trace. The appendix was added in consequence of letters I received asking for information in regard to the navigation of the upper Amazon river and its tributaries, a highway for commerce destined to be much better known in the near future than it is at present.
