P.S. I humbly apologise for some of the really strong language used in a couple of my recent web sites on the CSS ALABAMA. I was driven to this by the blatantly false accusations of a person who had boasted and bragged, many times, about his absolute expertise on this cruiser, yet had made so many errors, misleading statements, and then contradicted himself constantly in his responses, when confronted about these. I have all the evidence to hand, and would gladly share these with anyone who is interested in correcting such falsities placed online, or published.
