  • Battle of Mobile Bay
    CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM NY NY HistoricalSociety - dson PaintingbyDavi J.O. INTRODUCTION Students of the Civil War find no shortage of material regarding the battle of Mobile Bay. There are numerous stirring accounts of Farragut’s dramatic damning of the “torpedoes” and the guns of Fort Morgan, and of the gallant but futile resistance offered by the CSS Tennessee to the entire Union Fleet. These accounts range from the reminiscences of participants to the capably analyzed reappraisals by Centennial historians. It is particularly frustrating then, to find hardly any adequate description of the land campaign for Mobile in the general accounts of the War between the States. A few lines are usually deemed sufficient by historians to relate this campaign to reduce the last major confederate stronghold in the West, described as the best fortified city in the Confederacy by General Joseph E. Johnston, and which indeed did not fall until after General Lee’s surrender at Appomattox. It fell then to an attacking Federal force of some 45,000 troops, bolstered by a formidable siege train and by the support of the Federal Navy. Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, to give one example, devotes 33 well illustrated pages to the battle of Mobile Bay, but allows only one page for the land CONFEDERATE HISTORICAL ASSOCIATION OF BELGIUM operations of 1865 ! The following account is written as a small contribution to the Civil War Centennial and is intended to provide a brief but reasonably comprehensive account of the campaign. Operations will from necessity be viewed frequently from the positions of the attacking Federal forces.
