Description

The part played within the Civil War (1861-1865) by the small Marine Corps of the United and Confederate States is overshadowed by the confrontations of the nice armies. On the other hand, the coastal and riverine campaigns were of real importance, given the strategic significance of the Federal blockade of southern ports, and of the struggle for the Mississippi River. Marines dressed in blue and gray fought in many dramatic actions afloat and ashore – ship-to-ship engagements, cutting-out expeditions, and coastal landings. This book offers a comprehensive summary of all such battles, illustrated with rare early pictures, and meticulously researched color plates detailing the frequently difficult to understand trivia of Marine uniforms and kit.
