The Fireman and War Tales Across a Nation

A long, mixed-page fragment retells scenes of Civil War life including a fearless Tennessee boy fireman, family farewells, and a rebel march. It shifts to naval heroics as Robert E. Lee and a color bearer fight at fortifications, then to the dramatic clash of the Kearsage and Alabama with Winslow’s bold action and official praise.

Letter from the Engineer of the Kearsage

A dated report recounts the battle with the pirate Alabama near Cherbourg. The Kearsage claims sinking the Alabama after a one hour and thirty minutes fight, with Semmes and officers either drowned or rescued by an English yacht, and the crew suffering minor wounds. The engineer notes near-constant firing, armor damage, and eventual surrender of the Alabama.
