Launched secretly from England in October, 1864, the CSS Shenandoah became the Confederacy's second most successful merchant raider, but--after rounding Africa's Cape of Good Hope, stopping long enough in Australia to cause a diplomatic crisis, and navigating the ice floes of Siberia's Sea of Okhotsk, the Bering Sea, and the Arctic Ocean--Captain Waddell learned that he had been fighting without cause or state, since the Civil War had ended four months earlier. In the eyes of the Union, he had gone from being an enemy combatant to a pirate, a hangable offense. Hunted by Union and British men-of-war, his polyglot crew rife with hints of mutiny, and with dwindling supplies, Waddell elected to camouflage the ship, circumnavigate the globe, and attempt to surrender on English soil.--From publisher description.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 973.757 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.757 Chaffin Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kahuku P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.757 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kapolei Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.757 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 973.757 Chaffin Checked In Add Copy to MyList Thelma Parker Memorial P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 973.757 Ch Checked In Add Copy to MyList
