Beskrivning
This is the first published comprehensive survey of naval action on the Mississippi River and its tributaries for the years 1863-1865. Following introductory reviews of the rivers and of the U.S. Navy's Mississippi Squadron, chronological Federal naval participation in various raids and larger campaigns is highlighted, as well as counterinsurgency, economical support and control, and logistical protection. The book includes details on units, locations and activities that have been previously underreported or ignored. Examples include the birth and function of the Mississippi Squadron's 11th District, the role of U.S. Army gunboats, and the war on the Upper Cumberland and Upper Tennessee Rivers. The last chapter details the coming of the peace in 1865 and the decommissioning of the U.S. river navy and the sale of its gunboats.

Recensioner i media

“Fills a surprisingly rare gap in Civil War historiography with in-depth analysis of naval warfare in the Western Theater after the Vicksburg campaign. Smith captures the comprehensiveness of the US Navy’s efforts after July 1863 in all the various theaters west of the Appalachians in support of major land campaigns and other logistical and irregular endeavors. He also effectively examines the Confederacy’s commitment to countering Union naval superiority on Southern rivers with both regular and irregular forces....detailed depth of research...readers benefit from countless photographs and illustrations of the crafts and key individuals from the various campaigns...this book offers tremendous value for any Civil War scholar...recommended”Choice
