Editorial Reviews

Review

The U. S. Coast Guard Beach Patrol, made up of boys and men from 17 to 73, protected the continental borders of America from enemy invasion after June 1942. There is a twist to the story that makes it an unusual tale. Faced with thousands and thousands of miles of coastline; horses and dogs were put into action in many areas. For those in the mounted patrol, they were "sailors on horseback", a strange connotation for seagoing patriots, and just as unusual were seamen walking dogs. Only those in the picket patrol boats fit the description of a mariner, but success came on land and sea to man and beast alike in the pursuit of protecting America's coastline. Prints in the Sand: The U. S. Coast Guard Beach Patrol During World War II is the story of a little, but still vital, part of America's experience with the second world war. -- Midwest Book Review
