"Enjoy this book so much bought two copies with this order. Used it to start researching many forgotten aspects of confederate naval history. I belong to a Civil War Roundtable so being informed about Civil War history is a must. I especially enjoy reading books written by participants. Good Book! As my wife says, the books I read are very dry. But this one is better than most. Many good observations and stories. Well laid out to use as reference book."
