DESCRIPTION:
From the founding in 1790 to the present time, the United States Coast Guard has played a significant part in shaping our nations's history. When it was originally established as a small coastal patrol of ten cutters, its chief duties were to collect revenue and prevent smugglers from landing contraband cargo. In no time at all, however, the members of the Revenue Marine- as the Coast Guard was then called- found themselves fighting the French and British navies, ridding the seas of pirates and quelling Indian disturbances in Florida. This is a Less-Common Landmark Book from the series, written by Eugene Rachlis.
