zine took its place In the ranks OF
all-fiction publications it has been

perhaps the best assortment Of fiction

What is undoubtedly the first iron
clad naval engagement in the world
took place on March and Q, 1852, at
Hampton Roads. IL was the memoir
able battle between the Confederate
warship Merrlmac-Virginla and the
federal warship Ericsson's Monitor. The
inner history Of the epoch-makng fight
has never been adequately told In print.
1t has remained for Captain 70. v.
White Of Norfolk, Va, to give a full,
true and particular account of this
stirring battle in which iron-clad was
pitted against the monitor, and which,
by it's result, revolutionized naval war
fare for all time.
1.-THE First Iron-Clad Naval Engage
ment in the World" The captain
writes not only as an eye witness TO
the fight but also as participant
Junior engineer in charge Of gong and
speaking tube on the gundeck OF the
Virginia.
No more valued contribution could
have been made alike to the history
of naval warfare and the history or
the war for the preservation OF the
Union. Looking across the stretch or
years with an eye undimmed by the
lapse of decades and Judgment free
from bias and bitterness the author,
himself a southerner, relates the events
precisely as they occurred and In their
logical sequence.
