Harris, Henry

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.
