well researched and well done...definitive...highly recommended --<i>Civil War News</i>; valuable --<i>Blue & Gray Magazine</i>; the authors have spent many hours meticulously researching this book and have completed a wonderful job. The book is a must have for anyone interested in the American Civil War --<i>American Civil War Round Table Magazine</i>; Wilson and Gary McKay have a produced a fine biography that will leave little room for any further work on this important Confederate naval agent...extensively researched and well-written --<i>The Nautical Research Guild</i>.
