Description
Civil War Naval Log For U. S. S. Sumpter, 59 pp. manuscript of approximately 200 pp. bound, 4vo ( 7.75" x 12"), marbleized hard covers, July - August, 1862. A factual, no-nonsense log from a Yankee gunboat plying the western rivers. One of the more interesting aspects of this record is that the entries for each day are divided into "watches" of 2-4 hours and are signed, presumably, by the duty officer for each watch. Although most entries record the weather, there are several accounts of military action. The most notable of these mention the "Rebel Gunboat Arkansas" on the Yazoo River and an uncomfortable grounding near the Red River in which rebel civilians alert military authorities of the immobile Sumpter. Wear and some chipping to covers, else internally fine.Auction Info
