This pamphlet is a thesis written by Keith Lamont Tinker, published in 1982, the narrative is 72 pages and is not illustrated. This thesis examines blockade running through Nassau during the American Civil war. The initial chapters examine the blockade of Confederate ports, and wartime blockade running, 1861-1865. The concluding chapter summarizes the decline of blockade running through Nassau. The argument of the thesis is that blockade running through Nassau produced a tremendous increase in trade, with consequent increases in the price of consumer goods, in wages, and in the crime rate. With the decline of blockade running, prices of commodities, wages, and the crime rate reverted to pre Civil War conditions. This paperback pamphlet is in very good, used condition.
