Ironclad Captains of the Civil War (Paperback)
Expected to ship within 12 - 17 working days

From 1861-1865, the American Civil War raged at sea as well as on
land and saw the use of numerous technological innovations, chief
among them the ironclad warship. While various Civil War
biographical directories exist, none have been devoted exclusively
to the men who served as ironclad captains along the coasts or on
the great inland rivers. Based on the Official Records, earlier
biographical compilations and memoirs, ship and operations
histories, newspapers, primary sources, and internet data, this is
the first work to profile the men North and South charged with
outfitting and fighting these revolutionary metal warships. Each of
the 158 biographies includes (where known) birth, death, and pre-
and post-war careers. Information on wartime service includes
vessels served upon or commanded, with ironclads bolded for
emphasis. Each profile includes source documentation and an
appendix, "Ironclad Index," alphabetically identifies the various
covered ironclads and lists the covered captains of each.
