Articles Articles 327. Cameron, William E. "The Battle in Hampton Roads as Viewed by an Eye Witness." Southern Historical Society Papers 32 (January-December 1904): 347- 54. William Evelyn Cameron (1842-1927), future newspaper editor and governor of Virginia, was a private in Company A, 12th Virginia Infantry when he saw the Virginia sink the Cumberland and Congress. This is a sound, but, at times, overly dramatic account. The author draws upon his memory and postwar publications. 328. "Council of American Maritime Museums Report Delivered to NOAA; Recommends Museum Selection Criteria." Cheesebox 5, no. 1 (February 1987): 1-3. PER CC1.C44 The Council of American Maritime Museums announces that NOAA will select a "principal museum" to manage the Monitor collection of artifacts, papers, records, and videotapes. The article provides background data, conservation and interpretation considerations, USS Monitor Project plans, museum benefits, selection process, criteria development, and recommended criteria. December 22, 1986, was the deadline for submission. The Mariners' Museum was ultimately selected. Ralph Eshelman of the Calvert Marine Museum of Solomons, MD, authored the report on behalf of the Council of American Maritime Museums. 329. Campbell, Mrs. A. A. "The First Fight of Ironclads." Confederate Veteran 29 no. 8 (August 1921): 290-91. An overly romantic and mistake-speckled article from the Southern perspective. 330. "Can the Monitor be Saved?" Dispatch, November 1987. 331. Cannon, Legrand B. "The Monitor and Merrimac." Magazine of History 15, (June 1912): 190-201. Cannon, an aide to General John Wool of Ft. Monroe, discusses the secret operations to track the progress of the Virginia and the meeting with Lincoln and his cabinet members. This article appears to be extracts from a pamphlet published Oct. 1875 and reprinted in the American Cyclopedia in 1876. Cannon also gives an appraisal of forces on the Virginia Peninsula. He admits that U.S. Army infantry forces shot at the Confederate States Navy prize crew that had captured the Congress after the Congress had struck her colors. He claims victory for the Monitor and reports the result of the Battle of Hampton Roads to officials in Washington, DC. Finally, he comes to the defense of S. D. Greene. 332. Cannon, Legrand B. "Recollections of the Ironclads Monitor and the Merrimac, Incidents of the Fights." Magazine of History 17 (July 1913): 11-17. This article is similar to Cannon's article in the American Cyclopedia (1876) written Oct. 1875 by request of G. V. Fox. It also appeared in pamphlet form.

These ships were to be manned in part by former slaves after white sailors deserted the vessels because of the danger involved with the mission. 333. "Cape Hatteras Journal: Underwater Surgery to Save a Historic Warship," New York Times, 30 August 1995. Provides an overview of the efforts and reasoning for recovering the propeller.

Confederate Veteran 38, no. 10 (October 1930): 396. This is an obituary for Drake, who was believed to have been the oldest surviving crew member of the Virginia (see Alan B. Flanders's "1940 Interview..."). He spent the last years of his life in the Confederate home of North Carolina. No birth date is offered. He served in the artillery of the Confederate Army, volunteering as a gunner aboard the Virginia. 335. "Captain Ericsson." Harper's Weekly 6, no. 274 (29 March 1862): 203-05. PER AP2.H38 O This is a typical illustrated, laudatory piece on Ericsson and his famous ironclad. 336. Catton, Bruce.
