See Photos; This fine steel engraving was rescued from a damaged copy of part 16 of the series done right after the civil war of The War for the South by Robert Tomes . All of the small faults would be covered by matting and framing the excellent engraving of this Famous Naval Officer. Andrew Hull Foote (September 12, 1806 June 26, 1863) was an American naval officer who was noted for his service in the American Civil War and also for his contributions to several naval reforms in the years prior to the war. When the war came, he was appointed to command of the Western Gunboat Flotilla, predecessor of the Mississippi River Squadron. In that position, he led the gunboats in the Battle of Fort Henry. For his services with the Western Gunboat Flotilla, Foote was among the first naval officers to be promoted to the then-new rank of rear admiral. .
