This pamphlet was written by the Naval Historical Foundation, published in 1968, the narrative is 26 pages and is illustrated with black and white photos and drawings. Commerce raiding has always been a recognized and accepted method of sea warfare. It is probable that no individual naval commander nor any single ship in our long history has recorded more spectacular success in that field than Captain Raphael Semmes of the Confederate Navy and his C.S.S. Alabama. Captain Semmes very fortunately let his pen flow fluently when he recorded these many eventful successes. They are noted in the respective parts of the Civil War Naval Chronology published by the Naval History Division of the Office of the Chief of Naval Operations. The pamphlet was prepared with the belief that it will provide an interesting and sometimes even an amusing, as well as a historical record, of the celebrated raider and her distinguished captain. This pamphlet is in very good, used condition.
