Story of the Confederate armored ram Arkansas. From the Sunday news, Charleston, S. C., Nov. 12, 1905. Her achievements Unmatched in Naval warfare. By Rev. John Johnson D. D., ( Major of Engineers C. S. Army.) The recent appearance of Volume 19, Series I, of The Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies, has given fresh impulse to the study of the short but brilliant career of the Confederate armored ram, Arkansas. The scene of her engagements was on the Yazoo and Mississippi rivers, near and at Vicksburg, and in the vicinity of Baton Rouge.
