A collection of nine "almost lost” small-unit  episodes that illustrate the multi-dimensional war the U.S. Navy waged during the  Rebellion, 1861-1865. Eight of these stories were discovered by the author and are presented here for the first time in 150 years. A tenth, concluding chapter makes the argument that it was the Union Navy that won the war!
