THE BLOCKADE (AGAIN) / HATTERAS ISLAND
 |
| Silas Horton Stringham (1798-1876) |
In which we discuss the Blockade Board, Confederate privateers, and the capture of Hatteras Island by a Federal joint army-navy task force in August, 1861.
Our book recommendation for this episode is The Civil War in Coastal North Carolina by John S. Carbone.
“From the drama of blockade-running to graphic descriptions of the battles on the islands and sounds of the Tar Heel State, The Civil War in Coastal North Carolina portrays the explosive events that took place on the North Carolina coast during America’s great sectional conflict.”
