Reviews
"The study adopts a pretty comprehensive perspective on what it was like to be a Confederate sailor. Chapters cover recruitment, shipboard induction, duties and routine, how sailors spent their free time, naval discipline, healthcare, and the POW experience." -- Civil War Books and Authors, "Though studies of camp life in Civil War armies have been available for decades, Barbara Brooks Tomblin is the first to provide us with a study of daily life in the Confederate Navy. Hers is not a statistical analysis; instead she mined memoirs, newspapers, and diaries to offer a myriad number of personal glimpses into all the various aspects of a Confederate sailor's life." -- Craig L. Symonds, Ernest J. King Professor of Maritime History, U.S. Naval War College and author of World War II at Sea, "Expanding Civil War naval scholarship, Tomblin provides a vivid portrait of daily life in the Confederate Navy along the coastal, blue, and brown waters. Utilizing sailors' own words, she recreates their shipboard routine, highlighting the highs of combat and liberty as well as the doldrums, disease, and deprivations of duty."

In Life in Jefferson Davis' Navy, Dr. Barbara Tomblin lavishly draws upon a plethora of letters, diaries and journals to weave a fascinating story about the southern tar. She includes every aspect of their daily life at sea and ashore including topics from enlistment, victuals, discipline, courage under fire, illness, liberty and the hardships of prison life. Dr. Tomblin has accomplished for the Confederate Navy what Bell Irvin Wiley did for "Johnny Reb" over a half century ago. Her outstanding work is a masterpiece ready to take its place in the annals of Naval and Civil War literature." Commander Dennis J.

Ringle, USN (Ret.), author of Life in Mr. Lincoln's Navy, "Tomblin has performed a great service in exploring the conditions faced by the Confederate officer and sailor. Her work on the daily life in Jefferson's navy will serve as an important jumping off point for future research into this subject. In the end, she leaves us with the appreciation that the Confederate naval officer and seaman were like most others (certainly those in the Union Navy). Most worked hard to learn the tasks at hand, fought to win, enjoyed their free time, played and prayed. They shaped their world as best they could, sometimes parting ways with the navy, but mainly they sought to support the Southern cause, afloat or ashore." --The Northern Mariner / Le marin du nord, "Using letters, journals and diaries from both sailors and officers, Tomblin has produced a well-researched, lively and detailed first-hand account of naval life in the Confederate States Navy, both afloat and ashore. This is a valuable contribution to Civil War naval scholarship." -- Robert M. Browning Jr., Author of Lincoln's Trident: The West Gulf Blockading Squadron During the Civil War, "The body of record data that would allow more complex statistical analysis of many important aspects of Confederate naval service is unavailable to researchers; however, through focused archival research and skilled synthesis of the current literature, Tomblin is nevertheless able to piece together a richly expansive portrait of officer and sailor life at sea and on land. A very useful addressing of a neglected topic, Life in Jefferson Davis' Navy is highly recommended." --Civil War Books and Authors, "Life in Jefferson Davis' Navy is an important book for anyone interested in the Civil War, and especially its naval side." --StrategyPage, Barbara Brooks Tomlin draws extensively on letters, journals, and the official records to discuss such topics as shipboard routine, medical care, discipline and desertion. Extensive quotation allows the individuals to speak for themselves in this most welcome addition to our understanding of the Confederate States Navy during the Civil War.Spencer C.
