David Dixon Porter’s career in the navy started at age ten when he began his maritime service in the Mexican Navy. His career in the U.S. Navy began in 1829, and after many years of service, he became one of the first officers to achieve the rank of admiral. In 1863, as naval commander, he directed the gunboats that assisted in the capture of the Confederate stronghold at Arkansas Post (Arkansas County).
