- Author's Forward: ""During the period 1860 to 1890, the United States Navy rose from lethargic doldrums to become the largest navy in the world.... After the war, and until the close of the century , a small band of navel officers carried on through years of austere funding, and isolationist thinking. ...Under the guidance of farseeing Congress, the U.S. rebuilt maritime yards and embarked on a ship construction program that made the U.S. Navy a new force for peace and security in the community of nations."

About The Franklin Bookstore
The Franklin Bookstore began in 1996 by Robert & Ruth Lynn in Humboldt, Tennessee. Retiring from the Navy and a business career and always a history buff, Robert and Ruth opened the business of selling and dealing with rare books, magazines and newspapers. Many items were acquired from other rare books dealers from across the country. The Franklin Bookstore continues with his offspring mindful to keep the high ethical business examples that Dad established. We feel honored to be associated with such a virtual history of the printed word, inherently beautiful and fascinating artifacts of our cultural past. Every item we offer is guaranteed to be absolutely genuine and as described. A large part of the inventory is periodicals that date from the Revolutionary War to World War II and into the 21 century.
