Synopsis

"The Hunley: Submarines, Sacrifice & Success in the Civil War." Cloth binding to library standards with gold imprinting on spine and front cover. No dust jacket on this rare binding of this edition. This well-researched book is extremely timely, as the Confederate submarine H.L. Hunley, which lay off Sullivan's Island near Charleston, South Carolina, was raised recently from its watery grave. The Hunley was the first submarine in history to sink an enemy warship.

It has an appendix, index and other information not used in the revised edition. Collectors of Hunley memorbilia might want to buy both editions.
