Recollections of A Naval Life, An Original Compilation: Including the Cruises of the Confederate States Steamers "Sumter" and "Alabama" & Photographs (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781468103779)

NOTE: THIS IS THE LARGE PRINT EDITION... "I BELIEVE it was Job who so pathetically exclaimed, "O, that mine adversary had written a book " (which wish I could never explain satisfactorily to myself). Not being solicited by my enemies, but by my family and friends, for their pleasure, hoping it will give pleasure to others also, I venture to record some of the incidents of travel in my long and eventful life. If I may be forgiven the egotism (as I am an "author quite unknown to fame"), I will here introduce myself as an American of Southern birth, a Georgian, proud of my native State. I was named for my maternal great uncle, General John McIntosh, famous for deeds of heroism in the war with the Spaniards in the early history of Georgia."
