Confederate Ironclad 1861-65

within sight of the enemy. This title explains how these vessels worked, how
they were constructed, how they were manned and how they fought. 48 pgs., 40
B&W and 10 color illustrations, 7¼"x 9¾", sfbd

The Sultana Tragedy
America's Greatest Maritime Disaster.

Union soldiers - most of whom were returning home from Confederate prison
camps. 300 pgs., 6"x 9", hdbd.
