Excerpt from Two Years on the Alabama
Captain raphael semmes's account of the service of the Alabama, as the public probably observed, was most carefully confined within the limits of legal and profos sional statement. It was no part of his purpose to enter into the details of life on board, or to make any unne cessary confidences respecting himself or the officers and crew who shared his labors and successes. It is hardly necessary, therefore, to offer any apology for the matter contained in this volume. It will not be doubted that a cruise so unique and remarkable had its share of daily and hourly interests, and of manifestations of that human na ture which is of the first consequence in all narrative.

Excerpt from Two Years on the Alabama
This picture was taken the day after the fight, and shows his wounded right arm at ease. The face shows the wear and tear of three years' grapple with battle and storm.
