155. Rawson, Edward Kirk. "Monitor and Merrimac." In Vol. 2 of Twenty Famous Naval Battles: Salamis to Santiago, 421-52. New York: Thomas Y. Crowell & Co., 1899. D27.R2 This is a two-volume set on naval battles up to the time of the Spanish-American War written by a professor and superintendent of naval war records. The piece attempts to give both Southerners and Northerners credit for their contribution to naval history and serve as a consolatory effort about the time the United States was looking to expand its influence abroad. The article is complete and mentions the usual participants: C. S. Bushnell, J. Ericsson, J. L. Warden, Franklin Buchanan, Van Brunt, A. Stimers, S. D. Greene, Hiram Paulding, Charles Davis, and Joseph B. Smith. The vessels referenced are the Monitor, Virginia, Cumberland, Congress, Minnesota, Roanoke, Zouave, Patrick Henry, and Jamestown.
