When you mention Cotton Clads , the Battle of Galveston usually comes to mind. I'm sure this form of "Armor" was used in other battles as well. Any examples out there?
At the first battle of Lexington, MO bales of hemp were soaked in a river overnight and then used as moveable barricades by MO state Confederate forces. The city hall still has a cannonball wedged in its tower that was put there originally during the battle.
