September 19, 1862: Engagement at Bolivar, Mississippi
SEPTEMBER 19, 1862: The Ram Queen of the West, Medical Cadet Charles R. Ellet, escorting two troop transports, had a sharp engagement with Confederate infantry and artillery above Bolivar, Mississippi.
Medical Cadet is sort of a strange rank for someone commanding a ship. I'll have to look into this.
