He Saw The Elephant
by Hewitt Clarke

 

This is a true story about the amazing Civil War adventures of Lt. Charles Read, CSN. Mild mannered Charley Read was an Annapolis graduate from Mississippi. He entered the Confederate Navy at age 21. One of his shipmates said he could have easily stepped out of the pages of a Dumas novel. His tombstone in Meridian reads: With a crew of 17 he captured and burned 22 Union ships in 21 days and struck terror across the eastern seaboard.

 

When Read died in 1890, Admiral George Dewey said, "There is no one in America who deserves a place in history more than Charles Read." The book also contests the recent revision of history that maintains the Civil War was over slavery.
