To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" One would have thought the Monitor a thing of life; no man was visible. You saw her mov- ing around in a circle delivering her fire, always at the point of contact, and heard the crash of her shot against her armored foe above the thunder of her guns. It was indescribably grand.
K'ow," continued the Secretary, " let me make a confession, and perform an act of simple justice.
I never fully believed in armored vessels until I saw this battle. I know all the facts combined to give us the Monitor....
" I withhold no credit from Captain Ericsson, SEVENTH PERIOD: THE PRESIDENT 141 hor inventor, but I know that the country is prin- cipally indebted for the construction of this vessel to President Lincoln and for the success of her trial to Captain Worden, her commander." The victory was received with loud huzzas and great rejoicing throughout the nation.
Thus it will be seen that the common sense and wide experience of the President on the West- ern rivers during his early life succeeded in accom- plishing for this country what the learned and sci- entific prejudices of the naval officers would have prevented.
