Mr. Lincoln’s Brown Water Navy: In May and June of 1861, Commodore John Rodgers purchased three riverboat freights and had them converted into gunboats. The USS Tyler, USS Lexington, and USS Conestoga made up the Timberclad gunboats, and it was with these gunboats that the Brown Water Navy was formed.
President Ulysses S Grant as portrayed by Larry Werline: Larry Werline has portrayed first-person General/President Grant for over 20 years. During this time, he has presented at museums, schools, libraries, reenactments, historical sites, symposiums, banquets, and Civil War round tables. His goal is to bring history to life for his audiences.
General Ulysses S. Grant as portrayed by Dr. E.C. (Curt) Fields: Dr. E. C. (Curt) Fields, Jr., has been a lifelong student of the American Civil War. His interest in portraying General Ulysses S. Grant was driven by his study of the Civil War and his subsequent deep respect and admiration for the General. Dr. Fields is the same height and body style as General Grant and, therefore, presents a convincing, true-to-life image of the man as he really looked. He researches and reads extensively about General Grant in order to deliver an accurate persona of the General. His presentations are in first person, quoting from General Grant’s Memoirs; and he draws from articles and letters the General wrote, statements he made in interviews or wrote himself, and first-person accounts of people who knew the General or were with him and witnessed him during events.
