Editorial : The clandestine world of the ‘Ghost Navy’ of the Confederacy is the special province of Four Years in the Confederate Navy. Hoole, a trained researcher, had the good fortune of finding in England the logbooks of Captain John Low, who served on five Confederate ships, including the famous Alabama, in the years from 1861 to 1865. The author shares with his readers the interesting research problem associated with his subject and, as a result, imparts a freshness to his work. (Journal of Southern History)
John Low came to America from England in 1856 at the suggestion of his uncle, Andrew Low, a prosperous Savannah- Liverpool businessman. Just as he established himself in nautical businesses in Savannah the Civil War broke out. Low was ordered to England to help in the undercover task of buying, building, and convoying warships to the South. William Stanley Hoole traces Low’s adventures in the service of the Confederacy. Low aided in the acquisition and delivery of the ironclad Fingal and the Florida. He served with Admiral Semmes aboard the famed raider Alabama and was involved in the capture, commissioning, voyage, and detention of the Tuscaloosa. His final task was to deliver the Ajax in the last days of the war.
Reggie lived in Flint, Michigan with his grandparents, who he lovingly referred to as "Big Mama" and "Papa Manchester." The Manchester house was a caring, respectful, and disciplined Christian home. I'm sorry to disagree with the other reviews, but Tales of the Norse Gods was a big disappointment. As one of the people interviewed in this book (we are chapter 9), I can say that I'm very happy with what was written there.
What this book isn't, it isn't a "how to" for living off grid, it is not about the technical side of living off the grid, if this is what you are looking for in this book, you will probably be disappointed. I needed wasn't there and I am very unhappy with it.
