At the start of the American Civil War, neither side had warships on the Mississippi River and in the first few months both sides scrambled to gather a flotilla, converting existing riverboats for naval use. These ships were transformed into powerful naval weapons despite a lack of resources, trained manpower and suitable vessels. The creation of a river fleet was a miracle of ingenuity, improvisation and logistics, particularly for the South. This title describes their design, development and operation throughout the American Civil War. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

The plates are varied-again wooden gunboat only-and include examples of Union and Confederate gunboats.
This book was widely panned by the ACW naval gaming community, and I'm not sure I understand why. As an introduction and overview to the topic it works. ( )
