The spectacular battle between the \u003ci\u003eMonitor\u003c\/i\u003e and the\u003ci\u003e Merrimack\u003c\/i\u003e marked the debut of ironclads, a revolution in naval warfare. Ships supported McClellan's Peninsula Campaign and Grant's conquest of the Mississippi Valley. The raiding of the Confederate cruisers \u003ci\u003eSumter, Florida, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eAlabama, \u003c\/i\u003e Farragut's capture of the forts in Mobile Bay, and the interception of foreign ships on their way to trade with the South all led to the North's eventual triumph. Bern Anderson, a retired admiral, provides sketches of many of the leading characters in the action: Gideon Welles, David Farragut, Stephen Mallory, Andrew Foote, and the Confederate commander Raphael Semmes. Anderson delineates the new kind of war being born in the rivers and oceans of the U.S. during these years, in this first effective joint action by military and naval forces in American history.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Grand Central Publishing","offers":[{"title":"By Sea and by River (Revised) | Bern Anderson | Paperback | 0306803674 | Used: Very Good | Back Stacks H 1769306","offer_id":49518247149720,"sku":"1769306","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61X5WObwTxL.jpg?v=1784619443","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/by-sea-and-by-river-revised","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
