About this book

The war afloat in the Gulf of Mexico and along the Mississippi, from Cairo down to the river's mouths, is the subject of this third volume of The Navy in the Civil War, written by Captain A. T. Mahan of the U.S. Navy. Chapters follow the fleets from Cairo and from the Gulf toward Vicksburg, the opening of the Mississippi, Texas and the Red River, and Mobile, with maps and plans of New Orleans, Grand Gulf, the Red River dam and Mobile Bay. In the 1883 preface Mahan explains that the narrative rests mainly on official reports, supplemented by letters to surviving Union and Confederate officers.
