Glaring error in new Naval history book

[Missouri Swampfox]

Neil's small mistake pales in comparison to all the authors who have the building of the Red Rover hospital ship being built in Cape Girardeau, MO in 1859 and mistaking J.E. Montgomery to be James E. Montgomery as the Commodore of the Mississippi River Defense Fleet. Even the government got his name wrong in the ORA and the ORN. Looking forward to the book, Neil. Any work on the Western Rivers is appreciated.
