Listen to historians (Louis S. Gerteis, David Hinze, and Ronald Bolte) tell us about James Eads and how he built the City Class ironclads. We start off with a brief history about James Eads and how he won the contract to build the ironclads. We continue with the building of the gunboats based on Samuel Pook's designs at the Eads Boatyards. We visit the Vicksburg National Military Park home of the only remaining James Eads City Class ironclad, the USS Cairo. Then we learn more about how the ironclads were able to prove their worth in the Western Theatre of operations during the American Civil War. We conclude with a brief summary of James Eads contributions to America. • Available at CreateSpace • https://www.createspace.com/351587 • Available at Amazon • http://www.amazon.com/Drive-On-James-...
