Sinopsis
Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the First Monitor and Its Inventor: A Paper Read Before the Buffalo Historical Society, January 5, 1874
Monitor. Certainly nothing occurred during the war that exercised such a vast influence upon its ultimate results. What the battle of Gettysburg was to the Army at a later day, the fight between the Monitor and the Merrimac was to the Navy; both were turning points in the Rebellion. Under the gallant worden the Monitor in 1862 fixed the boundaries of Rebellion by water at Hampton Roads; sixteen months later, the brave but now lamented meade, on the well-fought and bloody field of Gettysburg, with the chivalrous, often whipped but never-daunted Army of the Potomac, fixed its boundaries by land beyond Pennsylvania. Both battles said to Rebellion, Thus far shalt thou go, but no further; removing the theatre of its action back upon the territory that originated it, and in the end crushing it forever.
In my opinion the people of this country have never attached sufficient importance to the advent and services of the first Monitor, and the grand part she performed in the war, at an important crisis, when our very existence hung as it were upon a thread.

Excerpt from A Brief Sketch of the First Monitor and Its Inventor: A Paper Read Before the Buffalo Historical Society, January 5, 1874
For the paper I am to read to-night I do not claim any literary merit. It is simply a mass of facts, connected with my subject, never presented by any other person, so far as I know. I have gathered the information principally from persons connected with and participating in the acts and scenes described; and shall endeavour to give them to you to-night, in my simple way, in connection with the illustrations here for that purpose, to show you the origin of the first "Monitor" and her subsequent career, down to the time of her being lost by foundering off Cape Hatteras.
In the progressive world at the present era, with the improvements that have been made in almost everything, and the great events that have crowded so thick and fast upon us for the past few years, there has been but little time to consider one idea, before another, often more startling than the other, has taken its place and the first is almost forgotten. This is especially true of this country. The Americans are in many respects a peculiar people; earnest, active, versatile; a moving, changing race; one sensation succeeding another in rapid succession. In no way has this been better illustrated than in the events that transpired during the late civil war. Coming upon us unexpectedly, and without preparation on the part of the North, the emergency had to be met, with an almost daily renewal of tact and invention on our part.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the fascinating origins and service of the USS Monitor, a groundbreaking ironclad warship that played a pivotal role in the American Civil War. Its inventor, John Ericsson, a brilliant Swedish engineer, designed the Monitor as a response to the Confederate ironclad Virginia (formerly the USS Merrimack). The book vividly captures the challenges Ericsson faced in overcoming skepticism and securing funding for his revolutionary vessel, and the Monitor's subsequent dramatic battle with the Virginia, which redefined naval warfare. The author provides a deep dive into the design, construction, and performance of the Monitor, exploring its innovative features and the remarkable courage of its crew. Through these accounts, the book not only sheds light on a crucial moment in maritime history but also celebrates the ingenuity and determination that shaped the course of the Civil War.
