Hello All,

Does anyone know of any books or articles that cover the design and history of early U.S. cruisers such as the protected cruiser Olympia? I have Musicant's book on the armored cruisers, but I can't seem to find anything on the non-armored cruisers before the Omaha class.

Thanks in advance!
