GLORY IN THE NAME: A novel of the Confederate Navy
At the outbreak of the Civil War, the Confederate Navy must defend nearly 3,000 miles of coastline
with only a motley collection of ships and a handful of men, among them Samuel Bowater, a former
lieutenant in the United States Navy.
Soon after witnessing the fall of Ft. Sumter, Bowater receives a challenging command – the
tugboat-turned-gunboat, Cape Fear, and her ragtag crew. Struggling with the pressures of a
first command in a nascent naval service, Bowater and the men of Cape Fear are the only defense
between the Confederate shores and the massive Union Navy.
From Hampton Roads to Roanoke Island, to an exciting, bloody nighttime river fight for New Orleans,
GLORY IN THE NAME vividly brings to life the dramatic yet little known naval battles of the Civil War.
