"In most standard texts on the Civil War, Mobile appears only in reference to the famous Battle of Mobile Bay. It is thus refreshing to find a work that illuminates the complete war years of this major southern city. . . . Confederate Mobile will prove an invaluable guide to anyone wishing to understand wartime Mobile and the military maneuvers involved in defending the important southern port."--Florida Historical Quarterly
"Bergeron's study, as his title indicates, is more than a chronicle of defensive efforts. His well-researched and well-presented work also discusses such topics as the different Rebel military commanders who appeared in Mobile as the war progressed, the role of black people in Mobile's defense, and, in one of the most interesting chapters, civilian life in the city during the war. . . . A worthwhile book to complement one's Civil War library."--Journal of Mississippi HistoryAuthor Biography
