This is the diary of Douglas French Forrest, Assistant Paymaster on the C.S.S. Rappahannock and edited by William N. Still Jr. Published in 1979 by the Virginia State Library. Cloth hardcover with foil imprints on cover and spine. Dust jacket has several tears and some paper loss. 352 pages, 7.5” x 9.5”. Book remains in very good condition.

Douglas French Forrest's diary is unusual for it is a chronicle of naval service in Europe. A literate and perceptive observer, Forrest filled his diary with descriptions of people, scenes, and events discovered in a two-year odyssey from Charleston to Europe by way of the Caribbean; throughout England, Scotland, and the Continent; and home to Virginia via Cuba and Texas in 1865.

From the library of William Turner. [jet][PH:L]
