Description

Campfire Talk Series - Infantry Soldiers Aboard the USS Congress

You may know of the Battle of Hampton Roads, where the USS Monitor and CSS Virginia clashed as the first battle between ironclad vessels, but have you ever thought what this battle was like for the soldiers aboard the traditional wooden warships engaged in action? Join Josh Ford as we explore the role of the 99th New York Volunteer Infantry, Co. D on the USS Congress.
