Admiral David Glasgow Farragut
7 pp · non-fiction; biography; war

In the early days of the young Republic, a ten-year-old boy named David Glasgow Farragut shipped out with his guardian, Captain David Porter, and earned his baptism by fire on the high seas—battles that would shape fifty years of naval service. When the Civil War erupted, Farragut chose the Union flag he'd served his entire life, leading bold campaigns to seize the Mississippi and capture New Orleans, then facing down the fearsome ironclad *Tennessee* in Mobile Bay. From cabin boy to Admiral, Farragut's unwavering courage and vision—including his early embrace of steam power over sail—made him one of the Navy's greatest leaders and a crucial architect of the Union's victory.
