The Hunt for the Albemarle: Anatomy of a Gunboat War
by John W. Hinds
Category: History

"The drama of the river warfare in North Carolina focuses on two men, Confederate Navy Lieutenant James Cooke and Union Navy Lieutenant Charles Flusser. Cooke was a devoted family man who had as many years of active naval service as Flusser had years of living. Flusser was a bachelor with a mind for young Southern women, whiskey, cigars, fast horses, and early promotion. Cooke was a soft-spoken, pious family man who doted on his young son and adoring wife. He also had an iron devotion to the Confederate cause."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
