Western Gun-Boat Ram "Indianola"

Date:

Medium:
Black ink and wash, red watercolor, blue gouache, and graphite on lined paper
Dimensions:
Overall: 8 x 12 1/2 in. ( 20.3 x 31.8 cm )
Description:
Civil War Drawings Collection. Either copied from or engraved for Harper's Weekly Magazine, 7 February 1863, with the same title. USS Indianola, an ironclad river monitor propelled by both side wheels and screw propellers, was commissioned in September 1862. This drawing was made during her brief stint on the Mississippi. On 16 February 1863, lookouts in Indianola spotted Confederate steamer CSS Webb abreast Ellis Cliffs. Webb turned about and dashed downstream and out of sight around a bend in the river. The next afternoon Indianola proceeded to the mouth of the Red River, where she maintained a blockade until, on the evening of 24 February the Confederate ram Webb and Queen of the West overtook Indianola and attacked from each side, ramming her seven times before the ironclad, "in an almost powerless condition," ran her bow on the west bank of the river and surrendered.

Description:
Civil War Drawings Collection. After being promoted to Captain of the Chicago Mercantile Battery on February 28, 1863, Patrick White and his new troops participated in several Union successes prior to Vicksburg. The Battery actively contributed to victories at the battles of Port Gibson, Big Black River, and Champion Hill.
On May 22, 1863, General US Grant conducted his first major assault against the Confederate defenses of Vicksburg, Mississippi. In the midst of Grant's en echelon attack, General A. J. Smith sought an artillery commander to take on a particularly dangerous assignment. Patrick H. White accepted this request to transport a six-pound cannon down a steep hill and then up another to fire point blank into a Rebel stronghold. The Confederate target was the Second Texas Lunette, a fort from which the Confederate soldiers were tenaciously fighting to prevent Smith’s men from obtaining access to Hawkins Ferry Road, one of the major entrances into Vicksburg. White and his small band of artillerymen were joined by some infantrymen from the 23rd Wisconsin who helped them to pull their cannon through the ravine up to the Confederate fort.
