   Description
During the Civil War, the CSS Alabama destroyed more than 60 Union merchant ships. This text describes how the USS Kearsarge pursued the Confederate vessel around the world and recounts the epic battle that took place when the two ships met off the coast of France on June 19, 1864. Much of the information is taken verbatim from personal accounts of the men who experienced these events. Independent scholar Gindlesperger is the author of three books of Civil War history.
