| Abstract
|
:
|
"The USS Carondelet had a revolutionary design and was the most active of the Union's Civil War river ironclads. From Fort Henry through the siege of Vicksburg and the Red River campaign through the Battle of Nashville, the gunboat was prominent. This history draws on the letters of Ensign Scott Dyer Jordan and Rear Adm. Henry Walke's memoirs"--Provided by publisher.
