Summary "Cruise and Captures of the Alabama" by Albert M. Goodrich is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the exploits and operational history of the Confederate States Navy ship Alabama during the American Civil War, detailing its campaign against Union shipping. It draws from naval records, diaries, and accounts from various officers involved, offering a comprehensive view of the Alabama’s impact on maritime commerce during this pivotal conflict. The opening of the work sets the stage for the Alabama's destructive path through Northern merchant vessels. It begins with an exploration of the political and economic circumstances leading to the war, particularly focusing on the ship's commissioning in England and the ongoing blockade of the Confederacy. As tensions mount, Goodrich introduces the infamous Captain Raphael Semmes and the crew who would transform the Alabama into a feared adversary of Union trade. Nestled within this historical narrative are vibrant depictions of naval intrigue and the dynamic between Union and Confederate naval forces, setting a thrilling tone for the journey ahead.
