Summary: "The Naval History of the United States, Volume 2" by Willis J. Abbot is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This volume continues the examination of naval warfare during the War of 1812 and provides detailed accounts of specific naval battles, campaigns, and the broader implications for the United States' naval power. The narrative likely focuses on key engagements, the experiences of various ships and their crews, and addresses the significant challenges and victories faced by the American navy. The opening of this volume describes a range of naval operations that took place in 1813, emphasizing the fierce confrontations between American and British forces. It details the bravery exhibited by American sailors, such as those on the cutter "Surveyor," which, despite being outnumbered, put up a valiant fight against a British frigate. Other skirmishes highlighted include the actions of American gunboats in Chesapeake Bay, their struggles against British blockades, and the notable cruise of the "Argus," which inflicted damage on British commerce despite being ultimately captured. The narrative serves to illustrate the complex and often arduous nature of naval warfare during this period, as well as the tenacity of the American efforts amidst significant adversity.
