The worst maritime disaster in American history wasnt the Titanic. It was the steamboat Sultana on the Mississippi River and it could have been prevented.In 1865, the Civil War was winding down and the country was reeling from Lincolns assassination. Thousands of Union soldiers, released from Confederate prisonerofwar camps, were to be transported home on the steamboat Sultana. With a profit to be made, the captain rushed repairs to the boat so the soldiers wouldnt find transportation elsewhere. More than 2,000 passengers boarded in Vicksburg, Mississippi . . . on a boat with a capacity of 376. The journey was violently interrupted when the boats boilers exploded, plunging the Sultana into mayhem; passengers were bombarded with redhot iron fragments, burned by scalding steam, and flung overboard into the churning Mississippi. Although rescue efforts were launched, the survival rate was dismal more than 1,500 lives were lost. In a compelling, exhaustively researched account, renowned author Sally M. Walker joins the ranks of historians who have been asking the same question for 150 years: who (or what) was responsible for the Sultanas disastrous fate?

I really enjoyed reading 'Sinking the Sultana.' The way the author blends personal stories with historical events is captivating. It really highlighted the greed and tragedy surrounding the Sultana disaster. Highly recommend for anyone interested in Civil War history!

A Bit Disappointed by the Focus
I was hoping for more on the actual sinking of the Sultana. While the background on imprisonment and greed is insightful, it felt like the main event got overshadowed. It’s a decent read but not what I expected. Wouldn't say I’d recommend it widely.
