Description: CAPITAL NAVYThe Men, Ships, and Operations of the James River Squadronby John M. Coski This great book delves into the Confederate naval operations on the James River during the American Civil War. The book thoroughly examines this aspect of the war, highlighting its significant yet often overlooked impact on the conflict in Virginia. The book covers nearly every facet of the Confederate naval presence, from the construction of early war ironclad ships to the lesser-known wooden vessels that fought alongside their iron-plated counterparts. Coski's research is based on primary sources such as diaries, letters, journals, and official records, which allows him to vividly portray the personalities and naval engagements involved, including battles like Drewry's Bluff and Trent's Reach. The James River led to Richmond and the improvised Confederate flotilla played a role in many Civil War battles in the region. Under the command of the daring John Randolph Tucker, the sailors fought to the bitter end as infantrymen in the Appomattox. Published 1996 and author signed and inscribed on title page in 1996.Hardcover, 6" x 9", 344 pages, illustrated, dust jacket.
