This is the story of the ambush of the USS Isaac P. Smith at the
Battle on the Stono River, January 30, 1863. US Navy officers
Frederic Calvin Hills and John Wyer Dicks were on the Smith and
were the ancestors of the author's wife, although they did not
become related until after the Civil War. This book tells the story
of the Smith up to the battle and gives the battle story based on
eyewitness accounts, battle reports, and official records. The
story of the crew's imprisonment as well as the post battle and
postwar lives of Frederic and John are also included as well as
some short biographies of battle veterans and civilians, Union and
Confederate.
