Andrew Hull Foote
Andrew Hull Foote (September 12, 1806 – June 26, 1863) was an American naval officer who was noted for his service in the American Civil War and also for his contributions to several naval reforms in the years prior to the war. When the war came, he was appointed to command of the Western Gunboat Flotilla, predecessor of the Mississippi River Squadron. In that position, he led the gunboats in the Battle of Fort Henry. For his services with the Western Gunboat Flotilla, Foote was among the first naval officers to be promoted to the then-new rank of rear admiral.〔Three others were nominated at the same time as Foote but stood higher on the list submitted to Congress: David G. Farragut, Samuel Francis Du Pont, and Louis M. Goldsborough.〕
==Early life==
Foote was born at New Haven, Connecticut, the son of Senator Samuel A. Foot (or Foote) and Eudocia Hull.〔Hoppin's p. 15〕 As a child Foote was not known as a good student, but showed a keen interest in one day going to sea.〔 His father compromised and had him entered at the United States Military Academy at West Point, New York.〔Hoppin's pp. 24–25〕 Six months later in 1822, he left West Point and accepted an appointment as a midshipman in the United States Navy.〔
