I am part way through Faces of the Civil War Navies 'An Album of Union and Confederate Sailors' by Ronald S. Coddington. If one is interested in Civil War images of sailors they might like this book. There are 90 images of Civil War sailors. Most are Union officers and there are a limited number of Confederates (12 images all officers). Each images come with a couple pages of information about the sailors in the images.
There are some interesting images of uniforms but not enough to call this a great reference on naval uniforms. I do not believe I have ever seen an image of a Navy Chaplain so I found that interesting. I wish Coddington could have found a couple CSA Navy ratings to tell their story.
Can I brag a bit? Mr. Coddington signed my copy.
