Iron
from the Deep: The Discovery and Recovery of the USS Monitor
by Robert
E. Sheridan
Book Description: Robert Sheridan has been part of the Monitor story
since the 1970s, when his research vessel first made sonar contact with
the long-lost wreck of the famous Civil War ironclad, and he collected
the first identifiable artifact. In this book he combines his firsthand
perspective of the Monitor's discovery and efforts to save her artifacts
with an authoritative history of the ship that revolutionized naval ship
design. Opening chapters discuss the ship's construction, her successful
battle with the Merrimac in 1862 that spelled the end of wooden warships,
and the Monitor's sinking later that year off Cape Hatteras. Comments from
the secretary of the Navy who spurred the building of the Monitor, the
captain who ordered her into action, and the young lieutenant who survived
the sinking, add color to these historically significant events. In addition
to his personal account of the discovery of the Monitor, Sheridan addresses
the issue of controls over the wreck and recovery proposals. He describes
his nearly twenty years of lobbying to convince Congress that the Monitor's
deterioration called for action. The book's final chapters chronicle the
raising of artifacts from this national treasure. Although several books
have been written about the dramatic history of the Yankee ironclad, and
several others have been published about attempts to recover her, this
is the first to cover both subjects in detail. 29 photographs. 10 line
drawings. Map. Bibliography. Index. 6 x 9 inches.
Hardcover from United States Naval Inst.

Union
and Confederate Submarine Warfare in the Civil War
by Mark K. Ragan
Most Civil War enthusiasts have heard about the Hunley, the Confederate
submarine that sank the USS Housatonic on February 17, 1864. Less well
known, however, is that the Hunley was not alone in the water. Both the
Union and the Confederacy built submarines; many were operational and patrolled
for enemy ships. In Union and Confederate Submarine Warfare in the Civil
War, Mark K. Ragan brings this little-known history to the surface. Ragan,
who served as consultant on the 1999 TNT movie Hunley, uses contemporary
letters, newspaper accounts, factory records, and log books to recount
the early history of submarine warfare--from Bushnell's Turtle to the Hunley,
from the Alligator to the Intelligent Whale. Many observers were enthusiastic
about the new technology, describing it as "as formidable as it is economical."
Others were violently opposed, labeling submarines "unchivalrous" and "infernal
machines." For better or worse, the submarine was here to stay.
Thoroughly researched, engagingly written, well illustrated, and featuring
an introduction by Clive Cussler (who led the successful 1995 effort to
locate the sunken Hunley), Submarine Warfare deserves a place on every
Civil War buff's bookshelf. --Sunny Delaney - Amazon.com
