Book Synopsis Ironclad Captain by : Jay Slagle
Book excerpt: At the centre of this book are the private letters written by Phelps which are set in context by the author, through the use of published documents, memoirs, and scholary histories of the navy. The result is a small history of the US navy and its officer corps for a third of the 19th century.
