USS Gem of the Sea Correspondence Book-- Part 7: Maurice Clifford Young Collection

The correspondence book of the USS Gem of the Sea was from the collection of M. Clifford (Cliff) and Lynne B. Young Confederate Blockade Runner Collection.

Now, this sounds like a collection of material I'd be interested in knowing more about so I did some further research.

He died so that is why his collection is up for sale.
