Summary
This is a new, updated version of "The Hunley: Submarines, Sacrifice, & Success in the Civil War." After more than a decade of research at the National Archives and other repositories in the South and Mid Atlantic, Mark Ragan has put together an exhaustive work on the CSS H.L. Hunley. The narrative begins in the small machine shop in Mobile, Alabama, where the Hunley was conceived. It ends with the vessel's recovery from her century-old gravesite on the ocean floor and the return to land of her final crew. This volume contains photographs and documents gathered from private and public archives around the United States and brings the reader up to date on the history of the vessel, as it has evolved since the publication of Mark Ragan's first book in 1995, The Hunley: Submarines, Sacrifice, & Success in the Civil War.
