Gunsmoke Over the Atlantic: First Naval Actions of the Civil War

Gunsmoke Over the Atlantic: First Naval Actions of the Civil War -- The naval history of the Civil War began in 1861 with President Lincoln's proclamation of a blockade across southern ports and waterways -- a gauntlet that encompassed 3,500 miles of coastline, nearly 200 harbors and rivers from Virginia to Texas. The result was a dramatic history of confrontations between the Union Navy and blockade-runners that were bolstered by a makeshift, but very dangerous, fleet of Confederate warships.

'Gunsmoke Over the Atlantic' brings together the whole story in thrilling detail -- including invaluable new information concerning east coast naval battles. This moving, expansive narrative provides a fresh look at some of the Civil War's best known events: the epic battle between the Monitor and the Virginia (formerly the U.S.S. Merrimac); the birth of Hunley, the first successful submarine; and the climatic struggle to capture the Confederate stronghold at Fort Fisher, North Carolina.

Packed with detail and overflowing with the drama of battle -- including numerous maps and 8 pages of photos -- 'Gunsmoke Over the Atlantic' is a landmark in Civil War literature, and a thrilling read for both the dedicated historian and the casual fan.
