site
description
the objective of this
site is to tell the true story of what happened, here in
england, in those turbulent years of 1861 to 1865. how james
dunwoody bulloch, at times almost singlehandedly, provided
the confederate states with three of the most famous
commerce raiders in history. one of which, the css alabama,
became the most succesful such raider of all time, her feats
will surely never be equalled or surpassed.
bulloch was also the man
responsible for the largest single delivery of arms into the
south, in october of 1861, as well as havung built 33
blockade runners, and purchased many more.
unfortunately there is
now a tragic side to this story, commander bulloch lies in a
"foreign field" forgotten by most of his countrymen, yet
there are those who rightly say that this man earned the
right to stand alongside robert e. lee and thomas
"stonewall" jackson, in the confederate hall of fame.
