Line engraving after a sketch by Alexander Simplot, published in "Harper's Weekly", 1862. This action between Federal gunboats and Confederate shore batteries took place on 17 June 1862. USS Mound City was disabled by a shot that penetrated her steam drum, causing heavy casualties among her crew. Other U.S. ships present were the ironclad Saint Louis (seen in the right foreground) and "timberclads" Lexington and Conestoga. The gunboat in left center is one of the "timberclads".
