Book Description
Excerpt from Massachusetts in the Army and Navy During the War of 1861-1865, Vol. 2 The following list of naval officers, with their records, has been in course of gradual preparation for many years, under a resolve of the Massachusetts Legislature, approved March 31, 1875, providing for "a full list, as nearly as may be practicable, of the officers, sailors and marines of Massachusetts who served in the navy during the late civil war, on the quota of Massachusetts, designating the name, age, rank and residence of each at the time of appointment or enlistment, with date of discharge or resignation and the reason therefor; the vessels and squadrons to which attached; also, the name of town or city, if any, upon whose quota said officers or seamen were credited." Resolves of 1875, c. 15. This was modified five years later by a resolve, approved Feb.18, 1880, providing for the inclusion in this report of "the names and record of all persons who served in any capacity in the United States navy, in the late civil war, who had their residence in Massachusetts at the time of said service." Resolves of 1880, c. 8. The original intention, as stated in the resolve, was to have this report published in a volume by itself, uniform with the "Record of Massachusetts Volunteers." The work of preparation proved, however, to be very much more laborious and difficult than was expected. Since 1885 it has been entirely in charge of Captain Charles W. Wilson, of the Adjutant-General's Department, who has bestowed upon it an immense amount of labor, and whose thoroughness and accuracy are recognized by all who have come in contact with him. Even he has not yet been able to bring the list of sailors into condition for publication, and as this is the case, he has consented to publish the list of officers, as a partial report in connection with this work, an arrangement which is eminently satisfactory to all concerned.

War on the Waters

Book Description
Although previously undervalued for their strategic impact because they represented only a small percentage of total forces, the Union and Confederate navies were crucial to the outcome of the Civil War. In War on the Waters, James M. McPherson has crafted an enlightening, at times harrowing, and ultimately thrilling account of the war's naval campaigns and their military leaders. McPherson recounts how the Union navy's blockade of the Confederate coast, leaky as a sieve in the war's early months, became increasingly effective as it choked off vital imports and exports. Meanwhile, the Confederate navy, dwarfed by its giant adversary, demonstrated daring and military innovation. Commerce raiders sank Union ships and drove the American merchant marine from the high seas. Southern ironclads sent several Union warships to the bottom, naval mines sank many more, and the Confederates deployed the world's first submarine to sink an enemy vessel. But in the end, it was the Union navy that won some of the war's most important strategic victories--as an essential partner to the army on the ground at Fort Donelson, Vicksburg, Port Hudson, Mobile Bay, and Fort Fisher, and all by itself at Port Royal, Fort Henry, New Orleans, and Memphis.
