N.C. Events, August 1864: CSS Tallahassee and CSS Albemarle

From the North Carolina Civil War Sesquicentennial Timeline.

  WEST means it took place in the western part of the state, otherwise in the eastern.

AUGUST  1-3   Pursuit of Confederate forces from Athens, Tennessee, into North Carolina (WEST).

AUGUST 6--  The CSS Tallahassee runs out of Cape Fear River and begins a successful two week commerce raid on Union shipping all the way to New England.
