Lt. Benjamin Loring (1824-1902) lived the life of an everyman Civil War sailor. Loring was a sailor who just wanted to return home, where the biggest story of his life awaited him. Covering almost a year of Loring's service, I Held Lincoln describes the lieutenant's command of the gunboat USS Wave, the Battle of Calcasieu Pass, the surrender of his ship, and his capture by the Confederates.
