Waddell, "Blue & Gray At Sea provides a glimpse into the often neglected naval campaigns of the Civil War with tales of Ironclads and blockade runners and the advent of submarining, as well as Incidences Involving no less than Jefferson Davis and his family, and Lincoln's own master of the high seas David Farragut.
