Rebel Raider: Raphael Semmes's Cruise in the C. S. S. Sumter is a historical non-fiction book written by Lieutenant Commander Harpur Allen Gosnell. The book tells the story of Raphael Semmes, the captain of the Confederate States Navy's ship, the C.S.S. Sumter, during the American Civil War. Semmes and his crew went on a daring cruise across the Atlantic Ocean, attacking and capturing Union ships along the way. The book provides a detailed account of Semmes's tactics and strategies, as well as the challenges he faced during the cruise. It also explores the political and social context of the time, including the tensions between the North and South and the impact of the war on the lives of ordinary people. Rebel Raider is a gripping and informative read for anyone interested in the Civil War, naval history, or military strategy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
