About This Item
Gainesville, FL: University Press of Florida, 2006. First Edition, First Printing. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Fine/Fine.
No Flaws or Blemishes but minimal shelf handling; Still Gift Quality. 9.5 inches tall; 428 pages with Chapter Notes, Bibliography and Index.
From the 'New Perspectives on the History of the South' Series. "An original and fast-paced interpretive history of one of the Confederacy's most successful and controversial commerce raiders. Drawing upon new sources, and revisiting an arsenal of old ones, Curry dissects the CSS Shenandoah's rich history."
The Confederate Steam Ship Shenandoah is renowned as the last vessel to surrender after the Civil War, and the young officers on board, who didn't learn of the war's end for three months, consequently suffered extraordinary physical and emotional stress.
This first-hand account of the crew's hazardous last year, told through shipboard diaries and postwar journals, reveals the heavy personal toll they paid during the cruiser's transition from commissioned commerce raider to hunted fugitive
