Produced by Jeannie Howse, Steven Gibbs and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Gulf and Inland Waters" by A. T. Mahan is a historical account written in the late 19th century. This work focuses on the naval operations that took place during the American Civil War within the vast network of Gulf and inland waters, particularly examining the strategic significance of the Mississippi River. The book aims to shed light on the complexities and challenges faced by the Union forces in their efforts to control these waterways and manipulate them for military advantage. The opening of this narrative establishes the geographical boundaries and importance of the region, commencing with a detailed description of the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi River. It emphasizes the necessary dual strategy employed by the National Government during the war: to navigate crucial river routes while enforcing a blockade along the coast. Mahan discusses the pivotal role of various naval figures, including the command structure and the fleet's composition, focusing on the early phases of naval engagement as fine details emerge concerning battles, ship types, and tactics. This sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of the intense maritime conflicts that shaped the Civil War's course from both strategic and operational perspectives.
