About This Item
1877 Confederate CSN Capt Wilkinson 1ed Narrative of Blockade-Runner Civil War
Confederate Naval Captain John Wilkinson's "The Narrative of a Blockade-Runner" is a fascinating 19th-century first-hand account that provides a detailed narrative on blockade-running during the American Civil War. In addition to chronicling the experiences of smuggling goods through the Union's naval blockade, the book also offers insights into significant events such as the controversial capture of New Orleans. Through access to previously unpublished documents, Wilkinson presents a fresh perspective on these historical events. The book aims to contribute to a better understanding of the war and to promote dialogue between the North and South.
This 1877 first edition, first printing is significantly rare with only one other copy recorded across library archives worldwide.
