The Cotton Run - Paperback

by Daniel Wyatt (Author)

Captain Joshua Denning is a veteran of the nighttime cotton runs through the Union blockades off Cape Fear, near Wilmington, in 1863.

During a confrontation on the high seas outside Nassau, Denning clashes with an old adversary, Captain Robert Carlisle, from his days at Annapolis Navy Academy ten years before. The next time they meet, when Denning takes on one final blockade run, carrying the greatest shipment of them all, only one will be victorious...

The Cotton Run gives us a different insight into the American Civil War, a story of love, hate, greed, and double-dealing that takes us deep into the exciting and dangerous world of naval combat, and the controversial blockade-running trade through the strategic Confederate port of Wilmington, North Carolina.
