History of the Confederate States Navy, Civil War, Scharf, 1887, 1st ed

  
HISTORY OF THE CONFEDERATE STATES NAVY. FROM ITS ORGANIZATION TO THE SURRENDER OF ITS LAST VESSEL. ITS STUPENDOUS STRUGGLE WITH THE GREAT NAVY OF THE UNITED STATES; THE ENGAGEMENTS FOUGHT IN THE RIVERS AND HARBORS OF THE SOUTH, AND UPON THE HIGH SEAS; BLOCKADE-RUNNING, FIRST USE OF IRON-CLADS AND TORPEDOES, AND PRIVATEER HISTORY. Rogers and Sherwood, New York. A monumental work, illustrated with engraved portraits, scenes and battle maps. The best on its subject in spite of the inclusion of some unevaluated or conflicting opinions by participants. Unsurpassed in its wealth of information. I have been a private collector of Civil War, Western Americana and History books, art and ephemera for about 30 years. I have recently decided to reduce the size of my library. I will be posting many, many Civil War, Western Americana and History books and other items in the coming months. Many of the items are very scarce. - Odylmac Military Books and Art.
