Abstract:
Harris recounts the life of William Muse, one of many North Carolinians who put their lives on hold to serve their state during the Civil War and then passed into history. Muse was born in Pasquotank County. He served on a number of vessels in the US Navy, but resigned his commission when the Civil War began. His last command was as Captain of the Ironclad North Carolina, and he died before the war ended.

Abstract:
William F. Martin and Gilbert Elliott received a contract to build the Ironclad Tarboro on the Tar River in 1862. At the same time they were constructing another ironclad, the famous Albemarle, on the Roanoke River. Little information about the Tarboro has come down through history. It was burned during General Potter's Union Cavalry raid on July 20, 1863. Harris relates what is known and why Tarboro was chosen as the construction site.
