Coalgate School Board hires Davidson as superintendent
The Coalgate Board of Education on Monday night voted unanimously in favor of hiring Greg Davidson as superintendent of Coalgate Public Schools. He currently serves as principal of E.E. Emerson Elementary. Davidson’s contract becomes effective July 1,
2016.
The motion to hire Davidson was made by Tommie Stanberry
and seconded by Justin Brown. Other board members voting yes
were Mark Benedict and Trent Bourland. Tracy Penney was absent.
Jim Girten, who has served as superintendent since 2006, announced in November 2015 that he would be retiring on July 1.
Girten joined Coalgate Public Schools in 2002 as high school principal. He has been in public education for 39 years.
Greg Davidson is a native of Coal County and graduated Olney
High School in 1999. He obtained his Bachelor of Education-Social Studies Education at Southeastern Oklahoma State University
in 2003 and went on to earn his Master of Education-Education Administration at Southeastern Oklahoma State University in 2006.
Davidson follows in the footsteps of his grandfather and uncle
as a school administrator. His grandfather, Buster Carter, was a
longtime Coal County teacher, administrator, and county superintendent. His uncle, Ernest Mac Carter, was the elementary school
principal in Seminole, OK, for over 30 years.
At the end of this school year, Davidson will wrap up his third
year as principal of Emerson Elementary and will be entering his
14th year in public education. He has taught at Coalgate and Tushka
and was elementary principal at Wapanucka for one year.
Greg is the son of Lyndon Davidson of Clarita and Sue Ann
(Carter) Humphrey of Ashland. He is the grandson of Mary and the
late Lee Davidson of Clarita and the late Ernest (Buster) and Jeanivee Carter of Coalgate.
He and his wife Krystal have two children at home, Jerrid and
Kenlee, and two adult sons, Kevin and Justin Hobbie.

My favorite story of the week . . .
Two men were talking and one said, “Every once in
a while my wife puts on one of those mudpacks.”
The other man said, “Does it work?”
The first man replied, “Only for two or three days,
then the mud falls off.”

One of our local business owners shared the
following . . .
He received an employment application and noticed
that the man had never worked in retail before. He
said, “For someone with no prior experience, your
salary expectations are high.”
“Well,” replied the applicant, “that’s because the
work is so much harder when you don’t know what
you’re doing.”

Former Treasury Secretary Lawrence H. Summers
recently suggested stopping the production of $100
bills, ostensibly to deprive criminals of their favorite
form of cash.
Mr. Summers may or may not get his way. But
here’s a potential trade-off: If the hundred-dollar bill
is destined to vanish from cash registers, how about
bringing back one of the jauntiest denominations of
American spending money, one that many citizens,
through no fault of their own, have never felt in their
pockets: the 50-cent piece?
This year, the U.S. Mint will manufacture for public
circulation—if recent numbers are a guide—around
nine billion pennies. The mint will produce around
two-and-a-half billion quarters, almost three billion
dimes and a billion-and-a-half nickels.
The number of 50-cent pieces that the mint will
manufacture and release for general circulation in
2016 is the same it has been for the past 13 years:
zero.
No one saw the half-dollar’s demise coming. The
disappearance from everyday usage of what once
was a taken-for-granted, constantly present American
coin is a tale of unintended consequences, and of how
history can blindside and do away with even the most
standard and noncontroversial aspects of the nation’s
life.
The 50-cent piece was always a highly useful,
immensely popular coin. The thing had heft and a
bit of swagger: It was bigger and heavier than the
smaller-denomination coins, but not so unwieldy that
it was uncomfortable to carry. There was a touch of
ring-a-ding-ding to having it in your pocket. You had
to resist the impulse to pull it out and flip it.
And—most important—you could make significant
daily purchases with it, and walk away with change. The
mint had been putting half-buck pieces into circulation
for as long as the U.S. had been manufacturing coins;
by the early 1960s, a 50-cent piece would buy you a
quart of milk, or an issue each of Sports Illustrated and
Life magazines, or enough Snickers bars and packs of
Beech-Nut Spearmint gum to get you and a couple
of buddies through the afternoon, or a gallon-and-ahalf of gas, or a bleacher seat at a big-league baseball
game. It was real money. Its future seemed secure.
Then, in November 1963, President John F. Kennedy
made his trip to Dallas.
As the nation grieved in the weeks after the
assassination, government leaders scrambled to come
up with ways to honor Kennedy’s memory. President
Johnson and Congress thought it would be a fine idea
to speedily replace Benjamin Franklin’s face on the
50-cent piece with Kennedy in profile. A touching
gesture. What could go wrong?
By February 1964 the Kennedy half-dollars were
being pressed, with public release scheduled for
March. As soon as banks began offering the coins,
long lines formed. People wanted them, all right—not
to spend, but to keep. Banks had to ration, limiting
the number that individuals could request. A mystique
instantly grew. If you had one of those coins, you
knew to hold on to it.
Coincidentally and concurrently, the price of silver
was rising to the point at which the worth of the
material within the 50-cent piece might soon surpass
the face value of the coin. Precious-metal traders were
hoarding half-bucks, both the new Kennedys and the
old Franklins, in anticipation of melting them down
and profiting.
The coins seemed to all but evaporate from the
public scene. The U.S. Mint, by 1971, had eliminated
silver from the composition of the half-dollars, but
by then people had become accustomed to their absence. As the years went by,
stores stopped making space in cash-register drawers for them; vending machines
wouldn’t accept them; banks had to request them from the Federal Reserve for the
few customers who desired them; and younger Americans were unaware the coins
even existed.
The mint stopped putting half-dollars into circulation in 2002. It still manufactures
commemorative and special-edition 50-cent pieces for collectors, sold to the
public at a premium, but when the mint offers a mounted set of four Kennedy halfdollars for $99.95, you’d feel like a fiscal idiot spending the coins at the corner
7-Eleven.
The man described by mint officials as the nation’s leading authority on the
history of coins, Q. David Bowers, said that, in terms of daily commerce, the
half-dollar isn’t coming back. “It’s a dead issue,” he told me. Had the government
never removed Ben Franklin’s portrait, the 50-cent piece would likely still be
thriving today, as utilitarian and ubiquitous as the George Washington quarter.
But—no one planned it this way—it turns out that a coin can be so popular that it
goes out of business.

And last of all, I enjoyed the following story . . .
A man went to visit his friend in another city. “Remember last year when I was
broke and you helped me out? I told you at the time that I’d never forget your
generosity.”
“Yes, I remember,” his friend replied.
“Well, guess what,” his visitor said. “I’m broke again.”

home canning classes
By Kelsey Ratcliff,
Extension Educator
Spring is nearly
upon us! Gardens have
already been planted all
across the county and
many more are being
planned. But what can
be done with all that
extra produce? Sure,
your family will likely
eat much of what your
garden produces while it
is still fresh, but what can
you do to preserve your
garden fresh fruits and
vegetables long-term?
The answer is to can
it! Canning is something
that has been a tradition
in many of our families
for generations. Many
of you may even have
recipes passed down by a
great-great-grandmother.
But did you know
canning guidelines have
changed even in the last
few years? The United
States Department of
Agriculture
(USDA)
sets forth strict canning
guidelines to ensure the
safety and quality of your
home canned products.
These guidelines are
set forth after rigorous
testing by the USDA.
Would you like an
opportunity to learn these
guidelines and practice
them in a canning lab
demonstration? Look no
further! Your local OSU
Extension Office has
many of the resources you
will need to be on your
way to safely preserving
your produce.
Kelsey Ratcliff, Coal
County Family and
Consumer
Science
Extension
Educator,
invites you to attend one
of the following canning
classes: 1)Vegetables, 2)
Pickles and Salsas, 3)
Jams and Jellies.
Dates for these classes
have not yet been
set. Dates will be set
after speaking with all
interested
participants
to determine the best
day and time. While
the classes themselves
will be free, a fee will
be charged to cover the
supplies needed for the
canning lab. The fee
will be determined after
we have a count of how
many will attend each
class.
If you are interested
in any of these classes,
please contact Kelsey at
the Extension Office by
calling (580) 927-2262,
stopping by at 1501 South
Broadway in Coalgate
(across from Hiway Inn),
or emailing her at kelsey.
ratcliff@okstate.edu.
Please contact us by
March 18 so we can begin
to plan these classes. We
hope to hear from you
soon!

It’s gardening time for Coal County jail inmates
—Extension office holds gardening class for the inmates
Inmates at the Coal
County jail will soon
start reaping the rewards
of their two vegetable
gardens. Eight inmates
sat through a gardening
class
presented
by
Coal County Extension
Director Casey Russell,
two garden plots have
been tilled, and the
potatoes and onions have
been planted. As the
weather gets warmer,
more crops will be
planted.
Veterans
Affairs hosts
town hall and
claims clinic
Local Event is part
of a Nationwide
Initiative
In good years, the jail
gardens produce fresh
vegetables for the inmates
all during the growing
season plus enough to
fill the freezers.
Last year wasn’t a
good garden year, but
in 2014 the sheriff’s
office gave vegetables to
senior citizen nutrition
centers in the county, the
hospital, Hurley Manor,
and even the Atoka and
Pontotoc County jails.
Sheriff Bryan Jump
started the inmate garden
project in 2013 after he
was elected to office
in November 2012. It
started with one raised
garden behind the jail
and expanded in 2014 to
two.
In addition to the
jail garden, Coalgate
City Manager Roger
Cosper has given Jump
permission to use cityowned land behind the
OSU Extension building.
The gardens are planted
and cared for entirely
by inmates of the Coal
County jail, and only
non-violent
offenders
get the garden privilege.
“Everything is done
by donations,” Jump
said. This year, he and
Don Burns donated the
plants and seeds, and
in previous years local
citizens have helped with
plants and seeds and even
the tilling. “We’ve also
gotten a lot of help from
the commissioners,” he
said.
“Everyone has
worked really well with
us on our projects.”
Aside from the obvious
benefit of having fresh
vegetables on their
plates, do the inmates
like the idea of raising
and working gardens?
“Absolutely,”
Jump
said. “They liked going
to the class, and they like
getting out and working
and doing something
productive.
“They basically are
learning new life skills
that will help them
provide for themselves
and their families when
they get out. That’s one
reason we put on the
class. Some of them have
never raised gardens, and
by attending the class and
doing the actual work,
they learn how to do it
– which helps us and it
helps them.
“It’s good for the
soul.”

Devotion of the Week
As Herman Hoyt points out in The Meaning
of the Millennium, our belief in the thousandyear reign of Christ in Revelation 20 provides
a solid and satisfying philosophy of history.
It “points to the fact that God is progressively
moving through history and directing the
course of events to some good end. It is true
through sin humanity has failed. But in spite
of that fact the movement of history is forward
and upward, and will at last come to a grand
consummation in the future under the power of
God.” During the Millennium, Hoyt suggests,
we’ll succeed by God’s grace in conquering
disease, preventing wards, lengthening the span
of life, eliminating social and political ills, and
increasing agricultural productiveness. God’s
people will have absolute, uninterrupted joy for
a thousand years as He reigns over the entire
world.
The prophet Isaiah said of the millennial
inhabitants of earth, “They will come to Zion
with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads
. . . sorrow and sighing shall flee away” (Isaiah
35:10).
What a day to anticipate!
Smile of the Week
A neighbor’s 44-year-old sister was pregnant
with twins. When her niece asked if she knew
the genders, she said, “No. I want it to be a
surprise.”
“You’re 44 and having twins,” said her niece.
“How much more surprise do you need in your
life?”

Tupelo opens season with 13-0 win
—Tigers follow up with losses to Caney and Tushka
By HERMAN BROWN
Coalgate correspondent
Tupelo High School’s
spring 2016 baseball season is off to a 1 win, 2 loss
start.
Coach Clay Weller’s
Tigers crushed the visiting Mill Creek Bull Frogs
11-0 in the opener on February 29. However, Tupelo has since lost close
decisions in back-to-back
road games at Caney and
Tushka.
In the opener, Tupelo
piled up 11 runs in the
first three innings. The
surge came en route to a
13-0 win in a four-inning,
run-rule victory.
The Tigers led 1-0 in
the first inning, 4-0 after
two innings and 13-0 in
the third inning. When
Mill Creek failed to score
in four innings, Tupelo
didn’t need the at-bats in
the bottom of the fourth.
The Tigers came off the
field with the impressive
13-0 opening game victory.
Casey Stowe (1-0)
was the winning pitcher.
Stowe worked 4 innings
and served up a 2-hit
shutout. The Tiger hurler
didn’t walk a batter and
recorded 7 strikeouts.
Garrett Fowler provided the biggest offensive
blow with a home run in
the 11-hit attack.
Luke Leland provided
a pair of hits with a single
and a double. Conor McCollum and Casey Stowe
each banged out 2 singles
in the win.
Caleb Watson stroked a
double in the win. Three
Tigers added a single
each, including Chace
Krebs, Avery Gould and
Seth Foreman.
On Thursday, Tupelo
went to Caney to take on
the Cougars. The trip resulted in a tough 13-12
loss to the host squad.
Coach Waller’s THS
squad led 3-0 after one inning. Tupelo was also on
top 4-2 after four innings.
Caney rallied with six
runs in the bottom of the
fifth inning to grab an 8-4
advantage.
The Tigers exploded for
eight runs in the top of the
sixth inning to slip back in
front 12-8. The cushion
looked good, but proved
to be too little to secure a
win. Caney plated a pair
of runs in the bottom of
the sixth to get to within
two runs at 12-10. Then,
in the bottom of the seventh, the Cougars rallied
for three more run to pull
off the 13-12 come-frombehind victory.
Tupelo used three different pitchers in the contest. Chace Krebs worked
3.1 innings and allowed 2
runs on 2 hits and 5 walks.
Krebs managed 4 strikeouts in the appearance.
Luke Leland came
on in relief and pitched
2.2 innings. Leland was
charged with 10 runs on 6
hits and 5 walks. He also
The third and final
pitcher was Braydon Pardue. He worked one-third
of an inning. He gave up
2 run on 1 hit with 0 walks
and was charged with the
loss.
The THS staff’s totals
included 6.1 innings, 13
runs, 9 hits, 10 walks and
6 strikeouts.
Casey Stowe was the
leading hitter for Tupelo
with 4 singles in the 10-hit
attack. Luke Leland followed with 2 doubles and
a single.
The other offense came
from Caleb Watson and
Braydon Pardue with a
double each.
Conor
McCollum
rounded out the attack
with a single.
The loss dropped the
record to 1-1 for Tupelo.
On Friday, Tupelo suffered a 7-5 loss to the
Tushka Tigers.
The Tigers started off
with a 5-0 lead in the first
inning. However, that was
all the scoring THS would
generate in a seven-inning
contest.
Tushka rallied back
with a run in the second
inning, a run in the third
inning, four runs in the
fifth inning and a final run
in the sixth inning. The
result was a 7-5 Tushka
victory.
Tyler Daffern was
tagged with the mound
loss. Daffern pitched 6 innings and allowed 7 runs
on 7 hits and 1 walk. He
finished with 3 strikeouts.
Offensively, Tupelo’s
7-hit attack was led by
Chace Krebs with a double and a single and Tyler
Daffern with 2 singles.
Conor McCollum, Luke
Leland and Avery Gould
added a single each in the
2-run loss.
Looking ahead, Tupelo
was scheduled for two
games this week. The
Tigers were set to host
Vanoss on Tuesday and
will wrap up the week on
Saturday at Allen.

Ryan Gaylor Honored for high SAT scores
The spotlight was shining on academia in Rockdale County recently as
some of the community’s
brightest students were
honored by the Rotary
Club of Conyers GA, the
Rockdale Rotary Club
and the Bank of North
Georgia.
Seniors with the highest scores on the SAT
from each of Rockdale’s
high schools — and the
teachers they selected
as having had the greatest impact on their educational
experiences
— were honored at the
annual STAR Student
and Teacher Luncheon
at Conyers First United
Methodist Church.
Heritage High School’s
Ryan Gaylor was recognized as the student with
the highest SAT for the
school district, scoring
2200 out of a possible
2400. The SAT assesses
how well students analyze
and solve problems and
is typically taken by high
school juniors and seniors.
Each section of the test is
scored on a scale of 200
to 800, with two writing
sub-scores for multiplechoice and the essay. In
order to qualify for STAR
Student, a student must
also be in the top 10 percent or top 10 students of
their class based on grade
point average.
Gaylor selected English
and
journalism
teacher Julie Kimble as
his STAR Teacher, and
not surprisingly listed
journalism as his favorite subject at Heritage.
Gaylor, the son of Steve
and Dawn Gaylor, is editor-in-chief of the school
newspaper, The Sentinel,
and participates in marching band and Model Arab
League. He is also an avid
thespian, performing in
local and regional theater
productions.
Gaylor said his interest in writing was sparked
in middle school through
short-story writing and
fueled in high school
through the journalism
classes taught by Kimble.
“Through that class I
have not only become a
better writer, a better student, and a better leader,
but a better person as
well,” he said.
Gaylor plans to pursue
theater and journalism in
college.
Ryan is the grandson of
the late Homer and Freda
Gaylor, the great nephew
of Melba Gayler and Velma Chiles, and nephew of
Lindsey and David Gaylor, all of Coalgate. He
is also the great nephew
of Edit Barritt and Nina
Hayes, both of Oklahoma
City and formerly of Coalgate. He has a number
of cousins in the Coalgate
area. Worship Services

A TRIBUTE TO “CLABBER” — Maple Street in Cottonwood now carries a new name – Clabber McLellan Way. It’s the street where the late Arvard
“Clabber” McLellan and his family have made their home for many years. Clabber was a World War II veteran who proudly served his country in the
U.S. Army. He was Chief of the Coalgate Fire Department for several years and was instrumental in bringing about a pension program for firefighters.
He had the first wrecker service in Coalgate; and until his latter years, owned McLellan’s Garage in Coalgate. Clabber’s namesake street is a tribute
and small token of appreciation to a great community leader, said Coal County Commissioner Johnny D. Ward. Shown above with one of the new
street signs are: From left (front) – Commissioner Johnny D. Ward, daughter Janet Stepp, wife Hazel McLellan, daughter Mary Ann French, daughter
Netia Fay Pyles, granddaughter Pam Pothoff, great-granddaughter Tina Griffith holding 2-year-old Rythom, longtime friend John Linton; (back) –

Local gymnasts compete in Atoka meet
Four Coalgate gymnasts
competed in a home meet
at Big C.A.T.S. Gymnastics
in Atoka. This meet brought
together 150 gymnasts from
six gyms across Oklahoma,
including Big C.A.T.S.
Girl gymnasts memorize
and perform routines on uneven bars, vault, floor and
balance beam. They either
compete a compulsory routine in numbered levels, or
choreograph their own routines with their coaches in
the XCel division.
Levels 1A, 1, and 2 are
awarded blue, red, or white
ribbons, with blue being the
best, red second and white
third.
Jocelynne Lambert, a
seven-year-old
Coalgate
student, competed at Level
2 and a blue ribbon on bars
and red ribbons on vault,
floor and beam.
Girls can also compete
in the XCel division, where
each routine is given a
number score, and scores
are tabulated to name allaround champions.
Shelbie and Shantell
Roebuck, 12- and 14-yearold Coalgate students, respectively, both competed
at the XCel Gold level. In
the 12-year-old division,
Shelbie won first place allaround, and in the 14 and
up division, Shantell won
second.
Boy gymnasts memorize
and perform routines on
vault, floor, rings, high bar
and parallel bars.
Trey Roebuck, a six-yearold student at Coalgate, competed at Boys Level 4A and
won second place all-around
in his age division.
Big C.A.T.S. gym owner
Heidi Lewis was pleased
with this third meet at Big
C.A.T.S., which she estimates brought 400 people
to Atoka. “Even though our
gym is small, our coaches
and parents pulled together to make it our best one
yet,” Lewis said. “I hope
the Atoka community got a
boost in commerce from all
the families who traveled
in for the competition.”
Big C.A.T.S. Gymnastics & Tumbling has been
in operation in Atoka since
2011, and trains gymnasts
from ages 1-16, who are
from Atoka, Coal, Bryan,
Pittsburg and Johnston
counties. For more information about the gym, go

Ward made a motion to award the weekly fuel bid to Ricks Oil for gas and diesel. Hensley
seconded. Ward, Hensley and Jones approved.
Blanket purchase orders were requested as follows:
District 1 – Ricks Oil $1500
Ward made a motion to approve the weekly blankets for fuel. Hensley seconded. Ward, Hensley
and Jones approved.
Johnny Ward made a motion to approve road crossing permits for Four Winds Midstream LLC in
4-1N-10E. Hensley seconded. Ward, Hensley and Jones approved.
Clerk Loudermilk said a contractor from Ada brought samples of flooring for the courthouse to
look at. She said she and Cherry Hefley picked the materials they would like for the offices that need to
be remodeled after the sewage flooding. She said she is still waiting on quotes. Brock Jones said he
has been talking to Shane Sallee regarding the installation of the flooring. He said it is going to be a long
process since each office will have its own schedule and most of the work will need to be done after hours
and on weekends. He asked the Board what they thought about hiring Sallee as an employee and paying
him an hourly wage and furnishing the materials. He said he felt that it would save the county money in
the long run. Ward agreed and said the materials could be furnished out of the capital improvements
accounts after the insurance money is received from ACCO. Hensley made a motion to hire Sallee parttime for the flooring and general maintenance issues that arise at the courthouse. Ward seconded.
Old Business:
Brock Jones said he would follow up with Casey Russell regarding the DEQʼs involvement with
OSU in educating the K-6 grade students about recycling.
New Business:
Cherry Hefley said she worked as a clerk for the Coal County Junior Livestock Show Friday night
and had to use a receipt book from the Assessorʼs office. She said she would like it to be recorded in the
minutes that she had to void receipt numbers 3201, 3202, 3203, 3204, 3205 and 3206 for her office,
because they were used for the purchases at the county premium sale.
Mike Hensley made a motion to adjourn at 9:16 a.m. Johnny Ward seconded the motion.

Wet weather threatens
CHS softball games
—Lady Wildcats hoping to play Thursday and Friday
By HERMAN BROWN
Wet
weather
is
threatening to wash away
- or at least delay - games
on the Coalgate High
School 2016 spring slowpitch softball schedule.
The rain rolled into Coal
County early in the week
and soaked the playing
fields.
At this point, Coalgate
is scheduled to play at
Tushka High School on
Thursday, March 10.
The Lady Wildcats are
also slated to go to Roff
on Friday to play in a
three-way event that will
include Stonewall and
Roff.
If the weather derails
the games on Thursday
and Friday, CHS will
not be scheduled to play
again until March 21.
The Byng Lady Pirates
are due to come to town
to play the Lady Wildcats
on that date.
Here is the official
regular-season schedule
for Coalgate’s 2016

Trump and Trumpism. How do I vote?
Donald Trump has
come a long way since
the summer of 2015. He
has amazed the world, not
only with his popularity
but how he is able to make
many statements that were
formerly thought to be no
no’s. Let’s see now, what
were they?
He has busied himself
ridiculing an American
hero--John
McCain.
McCain, a war hero from
a distinguished family
was shot down over
North Vietnam and held
prisoner six years. He
was a national hero. Did
it ruin Trump to disparage
McCain?
Not at all.
Trumps’ poll numbers
went up. He then mocked
a
disabled
reporter.
Trump then applied
misogynist humor. And
as if that wasn’t enough
he slandered the last

MARCH 9
On March 9, 1862, the
age of modern naval warfare began with the first
battle between two iron-
clad vessels, the Union’s
Monitor and the Confederacy’s Virginia.
The Virginia was originally a wooden U.S. frig-
ate called the Merrimack
that had been scuttled
near Norfolk, Virginia.
The Confederates raised
the Merrimack, covered

Sunday Evening 6:00 pm
Rev. John Briscoe is a graduate of Southern Nazarene University
with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Religion and Speech Communication. He is an ordained minister in the Church of the Nazarene. The
Church commissions him as an evangelist and as a song evangelist.
He is an interesting communicator and his preaching is Bible centered, evangelistic and relevant. He has years of experience in pastoral ministry and full time evangelism.
The Briscoes sometimes carry both the preaching and music ministries in revivals and camp meetings. John does the preaching. They
sing together. Ruth plays keyboards. John is featured on the trombone, but also plays the trumpet.
its hull with slanting iron
plates, and renamed it
the Virginia. The result
looked like a floating barn
roof with ten cannons
sticking out of the sides
and a smokestack on top.
On March 8 the clumsy Virginia steamed
into combat against five
wooden Union ships
blockading the port of
Norfolk. The Virginia
quickly sank the USS
Cumberland and USS
Congress, and drove the
USS Minnesota aground.
The Union ships’ cannonballs glanced off the
Virginia’s iron sides with
“no more effect than peas
from a pop-gun,” as one
observer put it.
When news of the
Union disaster reached
Washington,
Abraham
Lincoln’s secretary of
war worried the Virginia
would sink the whole
Union fleet, then “come
up the Potomac River
and disperse Congress,
destroy the Capitol and
public buildings.”
But the next day, when
the Virginia chugged out
of its berth, it met a surprise. The Union navy
had rushed its own experimental ironclad to the

scene. The Monitor rode
low in the water and had
just one revolving turret
housing two big guns. It
looked like a “tin can on
a shingle.” But it was
every bit as tough as the
Virginia.
The ironclads locked
in battle, pounding away
with their guns. Neither
could puncture the other’s
iron shell. After more
than three hours, the battered ships both turned
and limped away.
Each side considered
the battle a draw, but
overall it was a Northern
victory in that the Virginia
failed to break the Union
blockade. When admirals
around the world heard of
the battle, they realized
that the age of tall-masted wooden warships had
come to a close.
