Book Synopsis
Hoole traces Low's adventures in the service of the Confederacy. Low aided in the acquisition and delivery of the ironclad Fingal and the Florida and served with Admiral Semmes aboard the famed raider Alabama and was involved in the capture, commissioning, voyage, and detention of the Tuscaloosa.

Trade Review
The clandestine world of the ‘Ghost Navy’ of the Confederacy is the special province of Four Years in the Confederate Navy. Hoole, a trained researcher, had the good fortune of finding in England the logbooks of Captain John Low, who served on five Confederate ships, including the famous Alabama, in the years from 1861 to 1865. The author shares with his readers the interesting research problem associated with his subject and, as a result, imparts a freshness to his work.
