Folks,
In an effort to spur discussion and provide resources, I'd like for us to begin to accumulate as many online Blockade-type links here as possible. The first site below is one of my personal favorites. Luckily the South Caroliniana Library has this collection on microfilm. I'm really excited at beginning to match items in this collection to the McRae Papers; should provide some great insight.
Check under "Rogues & Runners" on the second page. Very nice overview of the island and this key Confederate point of supply.
Excellent UK-based site focusing on Liverpool and it's role in the CW. Images of runners, CS personnel, etc.
Amazon.co page with CS Supply, etc. listing. Several of the books are "must reads" for those interested in CS supply.
The last two items are Pdf documents originally written by a wonderful lady from Charleston, SC. Ms. Ethel Nepveux is the great-granddaughter of George Alfred Trenholm, chief partner in the CS finance firm of Fraser, Trenholm and Co. These articles were originally written for the Confederate Historical Association of Belgium.
Regards,
Neill Rose
