ALWAYS READY: The Story of the United States Coast Guard - Kensil Bell 1944

Description: All proceeds support the Destroyer Escort Historical Museum. "ALWAYS READY!" THE STORY OF THE UNITED STATES COAST GUARD By KENSIL BELL Illustrated with official photographs In the the days of royal taxation before the Revolutionary War, smuggling was not only profitable to American colonists- it was even considered patriotic. After gaining their independence, certain traders were extremely reluctant to give up their easy profits. Thus, when' Alexander Hamilton asked Congress for $10,000 to build ten boats to aid in collecting revenue, a howl went up from Maine to Georgia. From these early days to the present time when sleek, deadly Hamilton-class cutters are keeping coastal shipping lanes clear of Axis submarines, the history of this service has been brilliant and adventurous. "'ALWAYS READY!' is the first full-length biography of the U.S.C.G. The material has been obtained from original sources-old journals of cutters, official reports,active coast guardsmen of today, etc, Vividly pre- sented by Kensil Bell, it makes interesting, informative and decidedly dramatic reading. Normal wear and tear from being 80 years old and a former library book. The spine has started to separate from the pages but is still holding.
