Product Description

Raphael Semmes (1809 – 1877). Memoirs of Service Afloat, During the War Between the States chronicles the American Civil War as seen by Confederate General and Admiral Raphael Semmes. Perhaps best remembered for his famous and devastating cruise on board the raider CSS Alabama, Semmes recounts how the tiny Confederate Navy almost brought Union shipping to its knees. Semmes provides an important historical perspective in his defense of the South and secession.
