Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Most Perfect Cruiser is the story of how the Confederacy got to sea the most deadly of its raiders, the C.S.S. Alabama. It is both a complex and a human tale, one that occurred entirely outside of North America. We encounter the ambitions of the brilliant James Dunwoody Bulloch, the Confederate secret naval agent who brought Alabama into being thinking he would command her; and her resourceful captain, Raphael Semmes, whose previous success had already alarmed the North. As for the Alabama, she began her maiden voyage in the teeth of a rising gale, barely escaping the clutches of a Union warship and the belated efforts of British authorities to seize her. All of these threads culminated in a three-way rendezvous in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, where through a remarkable combination of luck, skill, and hard work, the South commissioned the most successful commerce raider the world has ever known. STEPHEN CHAPIN KINNAMAN is an offshore and marine technology professional with over thirty years of experience. He was born in 1950 and grew up in upstate New York and New Jersey. He and his wife, Maureen, currently reside in Chappell Hill, Texas. In preparation for writing The Most Perfect Cruiser, Stephen Chapin Kinnaman visited all the principal locations touched by Bulloch, Semmes, and Alabama, gaining a first-hand feel for the terrain which shaped Alabama's birth. Mr. Kinnaman was a director of the Mobile, Alabamabased C.S.S. Alabama Association, and as such was involved with aspects of the ongoing wreck recovery efforts in France. He participated in the Association's first field trip to Cherbourg during the summer of 1999. His nautical background and love of the sea has allowed him to craft a spirited account of the operational side of Alabama's creation which is so central to this book.

Book excerpt: THE ALASKA ACCOUNT of John Muir: Travels in Alaska, The Cruise of the Corwin, Stickeen & Alaska Days with John Muir, illustrated and collected into one volume, offers readers an immersive journey through the wilds of Alaska, as seen through the eyes of pioneering environmentalist John Muir and his colleague, S. Hall Young. This anthology stands as a testament to the enduring beauty and complexity of Alaskas natural landscapes, capturing not only the majestic vistas and formidable wilderness but also the philosophical and spiritual reflections these environments inspired. Through a blend of narrative travel writing, personal reflection, and natural history, the collection exhibits a range of literary styles, showcasing the profound influence Alaska had on conservationist thought and the American environmental movement at large. The backgrounds of John Muir, the father of America's national parks, and S. Hall Young, a missionary and explorer, provide a rich tapestry of perspectives that contribute to the depth of this collection. Their explorations during the late 19th century coincide with a burgeoning interest in natural preservation and a reappraisal of humanitys relationship with the natural world. By intertwining their experiences and insights, THE ALASKA ACCOUNT encapsulates a fascinating period in American history where adventure met scientific inquiry, setting the stage for future environmental advocacy and policy. This anthology is recommended for readers who seek to understand the roots of environmentalism, appreciate the sublime beauty of Alaska, and explore the philosophical underpinnings of conservation efforts. THE ALASKA ACCOUNT is not just a collection of travelogues; it is an invitation to witness the transformative power of nature through the pioneering journeys of Muir and Young. For students of environmental studies, history, and literature, as well as those moved by the call of the wild, this volume presents an unparalleled compendium of insights and experiences that continue to resonate with contemporary discussions about nature and humanitys place within it.

Book excerpt: The true story of David Henry White, a free Black teenage sailor enslaved on the high seas during the Civil War, whose life story was falsely and intentionally appropriated to advance the Lost Cause trope of a contented slave, happy and safe in servility. David Henry White, a free Black teenage sailor from Lewes, Delaware, was kidnapped by Captain Raphael Semmes of the Confederate raider Alabama on October 9, 1862, from the Philadelphia-based packet ship Tonawanda. White remained captive on the Alabama for over 600 days, until he drowned during the Battle of Cherbourg on June 19, 1864. In a best-selling postwar memoir, Semmes falsely described White as a contented slave who remained loyal to the Confederacy. In Kidnapped at Sea, archaeologist Andrew Sillen uses a forensic approach to describe White's enslavement and demise and illustrates how White's actual life belies the Lost Cause narrative his captors sought to construct. Kidnapped at Sea is the first book to focus on White's actual life, rather than relying on Semmes and other secondary sources. Until now, Semmes's appropriation of White's life has escaped scrutiny, thereby demonstrating the challenges faced by disempowered, illiterate people—and how well-crafted, racist fabrications have become part of Civil War memory.
