PREFACE.
The publication of the naval records of the Rebellion, both Union andConfederate, makes it possible to take a comprehensive view of the careerof the famous cruiser. In addition to these, Captain Semmes kept a diary,which after the close of the war he expanded into a very full memoir.Various officers of the vessel also kept diaries, and wrote accounts oftheir adventures, The long report of the Geneva Tribunal of Arbitration,and various consular reports contain a great deal of information in regardto the Alabama’s inception and operations. All this voluminous materialhas been gone over with care in the preparation of this volume, and thefacts are set forth in a trustworthy, and it is hoped also, in a readable form.
