Description
Excerpt from Letters From the Black Sea: During the Crimean War, 1854-1855
These letters have lain on a shelf untouched and almost unthought of for many years, but, as is the habit of old men, I took them down recently to refresh my memory of the events in which I had taken part during the most stirring times of my earlier life. They interested me much, and I publish them thinking that perhaps they may also interest others.
The earlier letters - that is, those previous to February, 185 5 - describe events occurring whilst I was in command of the Niger, or of the Sans pareil, and carrying out the ordinary duties of the service; but those of a later date were written whilst I was holding the position of Harbour Master at Balaklava or of Principal Agent of Transports.
