About this title

From Booklist:

Gr. 3^-5. A straightforward introduction to the naval operations of the Civil War, this discusses the different battles fought on rivers and the seas, the strategies used to win control of vital waterways by both the North's and the South's navies, the building of various ships, and the prominent generals who were responsible for the successes and failures of significant battles. The information is presented against a pleasing backdrop, complete with blue borders, and is illustrated by maps, photographs, and colorful drawings. Rounding out this First Book is a time line of notable events and a list of materials that offers further information on the subject. Dry but useful, this will be used primarily to fulfill homework assignments. April Judge
