James Crosby Long, CSN-- Part 1

A few posts ago, I also mentioned this person as being involved in the attack on the mailboat Fawn.

From Register of Confederate Navy Officers.

The source I was using listed his name a s James H. Long, but it was actually James C. Long.

Born and appointed from Tennessee.

Resigned as acting midshipman from U.S. Navy, May 15, 1861.  Acting Midshipman July 3, 1861.  Passed Midshipman January 8, 1864.  Master in line for promotion, Provisional Navy, June 2, 1864.
