The Life of John Ericsson V2 is a biographical book written by William Conant Church and published in 1890. The book chronicles the life and achievements of John Ericsson, a Swedish-American inventor, engineer, and naval architect. Ericsson is best known for designing the USS Monitor, the first ironclad warship of the United States Navy, which played a crucial role in the American Civil War. The book is divided into two volumes, with the second volume continuing the story of Ericsson's life from where the first volume left off. It covers Ericsson's later years, including his work on various engineering projects, such as the construction of the ironclad ship HMS Thunderer for the British Navy. The author, William Conant Church, was a journalist and historian who had a personal relationship with Ericsson. He draws on his own experiences and conversations with Ericsson, as well as extensive research, to provide a detailed and intimate portrait of the inventor. Overall, The Life of John Ericsson V2 is a comprehensive and engaging biography of a remarkable figure in American history. It offers insights into Ericsson's life and work, as well as the technological and political developments of the time.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
