In the most detailed history of Union warships on the western
waters of the Civil War, the author recounts the exploits of the
timberclad ships Lexington, Tyler, and Conestoga. Converted to
warships from commercial steamboats at the beginning of the
conflict, the three formed the core of the North's Western
Flotilla, later the Mississippi Squadron. The book focuses on the
activities of these wooden warriors while providing context for the
greater war, including accounts of their famous commanders, their
roles in both large and small battles, ship-to-ship combat, and
support for the armies of Gen. U.S. Grant and Gen. William T.
Sherman.
