description: From the rear cover of this 200 page "The last armed Confederate cruiser sent to sea, the C.S.S. Shenandoah was a beautiful, dangerous vessel that inflicted significant damage to Union commerce. All told she captured 38 ships, burned 32, and took 1.053 prisoners. The ship's skipper, James I. Waddell, published his account of the Shenandoah's legendary encounters and details of his own naval career a few years after the war. Nearly a century later Waddell's lively memoirs were uncovered in the National Archives by James D. Horan, who edited, annotated, and republished them in 1960. This Bluejacket Books edition reproduces the 1960 volume
