Mr. Lincoln's Brown Water Navy: The Mississippi Squadron (The American Crisis Series: Books on the Civil War Era) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I would recommend this book to anyone interested in the Civil War's Western Theater. The book is a series of eight essays about the inland naval campaigns. The essays are arranged in chronological order so the book follows the creation and history of the inland gunboats used on the Mississippi and its tributaries. The short, easy to read essays capture your interest and the book can be read in several sittings. The author made extensive use of photographs of gunboats, individuals and maps. The maps were good and produced by the author. I especially liked the photographs of the many different types of ironclads, timberclads, tinclads, rams and period engravings. This added a lot to the book. This book was full of details about Union gunboats and some of the unique units in the Mississippi Valley.
