Any detailed info on the sinking of the Cincinnati Ironclad at Vicksburg? I have a letter by a Union soldier who witnessed it, but want more?

Sir, the attached are excerpts from Deeds of Valor: How America's Civil War Heroes Won the Congressional Medal of Honor by W. F. Beyer (Editor) and O. F. Keydel (Editor) and can be found on Google Books.
