This is the story of the ambush of the USS Isaac P. Smith at the Battle on the Stono River, January 30, 1863. US Navy officers Frederic Calvin Hills and John Wyer Dicks were on the Smith and were the ancestors of the author's wife, although they did not become related until after the Civil War. This book tells the story of the Smith up to the battle and gives the battle story based on eyewitness accounts, battle reports, and official records. The story of the crew's imprisonment as well as the post battle and postwar lives of Frederic and John are also included as well as some short biographies of battle veterans and civilians, Union and Confederate.
