Description

Gunboats battling cavalry? Preposterous! Not so fast. Iron Maidens and the Devil's Daughters tells the story of the little-known Civil War clashes between US Navy gunboats on the rivers of Tennessee and the artillerymen and sharpshooters of the Confederate cavalry. Explore the US river gunboat flotilla (its creation, its commanders, its vessels) and subsequent joint navy-army invasion of Middle Tennessee down the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers. The book is illustrated with 27 original maps and 100 photos and illustrations. Chapters with battle maps and illustrations cover the naval battles at Fort Henry and Fort Donelson and the remarkable Phelps Raid inbetween; the capture of Clarksville and Nashville; the little-known first battle of Shiloh; the strange Duck River Affair; Federal counterinsurgency measures; convoy operations; and the brilliant Forrest raids of 1864, including Eastport, Paris Landing, Reynoldsburg Island, Johnsonville, and Bell's Bend. The 180-page paperback book features artwork by John Paul Strain and Andy Thomas and a special section on the USS Cairo ironclad gunboat. The building and operations of the river fleet are explored--timberclads, ironclads, tinclads, and river monitors.From the groundwork laid by Rodgers and Eads, to the amphibious operations of Grant and Foote, the raids by Phelps, the tinclad mosquito fleet of Fitch, to the Confederate warfare waged by Forrest, Kelley, and Wheeler, and the guerilla operations of McCann, Woodward, and Hinson. Iron Maidens and the Devil's Daughters explores these little-known bloody battles between Federal naval forces and the pride of Southern mounted infantry.
