The Confederate Cruiser Alabama Nears New England Coast
A fifty year retrospective recalls the Alabama’s forays near Boston and New York in October 1862. Semmes and his crew raided whalers and merchant ships, capturing the Baron de Castine near New York and prompting fear along the Atlantic coast as Union efforts sought the cruiser off the Azores and later near Virginia. Cavalry actions in the Virginia campaigns, led by Stuart and Pleasonton, featured sharp skirmishes at Mountsville, Dunkin, Markham, and Barbee’s Crossroads with notable feats by Pelham, Davis, and Rosser while the Army of the Potomac maneuvered along the Blue Ridge.
