This book examines the life and career of Admiral David G. Farragut. Specifically, this paper addresses the primary question: Why was Farragut chosen to command the West Gulf Blockading Squadron? This book seeks to establish the criteria used in Farragut's selection. This thesis breaks down the criteria into three areas. First, the book examines significant events in Farragut's career leading up to his selection. Second, this book analyzes Farragut's loyalty to the Union and its effect on his selection. Last, Farragut's political and family connections are examined to determine their effect on his selection.

By analyzing these factors and the selection process, this book contributes to the knowledge and understanding of how commanders were appointed during the Civil War. Less
