Part Eleven
The Battle in the Wilderness - of how the two armies were pitted against each other by two master military minds, Grant and lee. The first clash of the two veteran armies in this campaign proved undecisive in its results and despite the bloody fighting, both armies were awaiting a more conclusive struggle to come at the battle of Spottsylvania Court House.
The Battle of Mobile Bay - Once again the attention of the reader is called to the Hartford and the accomplishments of the Federal sailors. Here not only was the Confederate ironclad ram Tennessee overwhelmed but Fort Morgan, protecting the city, was bombarded by a fleet that carried more power for destruction than the combined English, French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar.
The War Time Photographs here reproduced show the men of both armies as they appeared during the Wilderness campaign. The headquarters of the Union Army, the country over which it fought, the army fences and other protection on the battlefield itself are vividly illustrated.
Photographs from the West illustrate the Red River Dam which saved the Federal Fleet imprisoned by low water until released by a famous engineering project.
Photographs are also shown ov the Hartford after the victory of Mobile Bay and of the Tennessee, the Confederate ironclad ram, which surrendered at this battle.
