All Out Union Effort to Stop the CSS Tallahassee

AUGUST 14, 1864:  As all-out Union efforts to capture the CSS Tallahassee, Commander Wood,  increased, the cruiser seized and scuttled the ship James Littlefield with cargo of coal.

Rear Admiral Paulding noted in New York"  "Our vessels must fall in with her.  They strip everybody of everything valuable."

--Old B-R'er
