New Vanguard 49: Mississippi River Gunboats of the American Civil War 1861-1865

New Vanguard 49: Mississippi River Gunboats of the American Civil War 1861-1865 -- At the start of the American Civil War, neither side had warships on the Mississippi River and in the first few months of the war, both sides scrambled to gather a flotilla, converting existing riverboats for naval use. These ships were converted 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.
