Here's a Book I Could Get Into: "Life in Jefferson Davis' Navy"

From Amazon.

"Life in Jefferson Davis' Navy" by Barbara B. Tomblin.  Hardcover $29.50.

Far too many people only consider the Civil War's land actions as the only significant aspect of the war, but I am definitely more the anything Navy kind of guy.

This full-length study acknowledges the service and lives of the sailors and officers of the Confederate Navy.  Barbara Tomblin addresses every aspect f their lives, from combat risks to everyday life.  She draws upon the diaries, letters, newspaper accounts and published works to put together their  story.

She relates the stories of those serving on gunboats, ironclads and ships on the rivers and coast and Mobile Bay as well as on the high seas on the Confederate raiders.

She even covers their experiences on prison camps.

Something I would be interested in reading.
