America's first arms race reached a blazing conclusion on May 9, 1862, when the CSS Virginia charged its full 275 foot length of ironclad momentum toward the USS Monitor. On the shores, crowds waited for the explosive collision between the two bulwarks of the sea. The clash of these mighty military machines, destined to fight each other for the first and last time in the second year of the American Civil War, instantly brought the age of wooden naval ships to an end.
Using vivid paintings, cross-section diagrams, and technical drawings, Patrick O'Brien unfurls the story of the battle that immediately changed the course U.S. naval warfare.

Duel of the Ironclads: The Monitor vs. the Virginia
5th grade - 8th grade
This book is great. It uses the concrete objects of the Monitor vs the Virginia to bring the American Civil War to a younger generation. In my opinion wars and history can be a difficult concept to grasp, because it is the beginning of abstract concepts. It is good to use some concrete idea to bring the topic to life. The battle between these two ships is illustrated by Patrick O' Brien. He shows the reader the development of the ironclad ship and the eventual battle between the North and South's version of the ironclad. The only problem with this book is that there is not a clear bibliography in it. There is something on the last page that is like a bibliography but it does not state exactly what it is.

Lesson Plan: Build a model of one of the ironclads and describe the advantage that that one had over the other. Or compare and contrast to ships of today.
