Blue & Gray at Sea

The Civil War immediately calls to mind images of battlefields and cavalry ¿ but not all of the fighting took place on dry land. Yankees and Rebs alike fought on the high seas as well.

Blue & Gray At Sea is their story.

Taken from the memoirs of such veterans as Union Admirals Porter and Dewey, and Confederate Officers James Morris Morgan and James I. Waddell, Blue & Gray At Sea provides a glimpse into the often neglected naval campaigns of the Civil War with tales of Ironclads and blockade runners and the advent of submarining, as well as Incidences Involving no less than Jefferson Davis and his family, and Lincoln's own master of the high seas David Farragut.
