Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. 1st Edition. THE CONFEDERATE PRIVATEERS BY WILLIAM MORRISON ROBINSON,JR. Condition reflects the quality of a private library. FREE SHIPPING within contiguous U.S. First published in 1928 by Yale University Press, it remains the most comprehensive and cited study of the Confederacy's use of privately armed vessels during the American Civil War. The Author: William Morrison Robinson, Jr. was an engineer and historian. This work is considered his "magnum opus" alongside his other major historical text, Justice in Grey. The Subject: It recounts the exploits of "gentlemen adventurers" (as the South called them) or "pirates" (as the North called them). The book covers the legal framework the Confederacy used to issue Letters of Marque and the specific histories of famous privateering ships. While many Civil War books focus on the official Confederate Navy (like the CSS Alabama or CSS Virginia), Robinson's book is unique because it focuses on private citizens who armed their own ships to capture Union merchant vessels for profit. It also provides a rare look at the legal battles and trials of captured privateers, who faced execution for piracy before the Confederacy threatened retaliation against Union prisoners.
