Andy Hall and I recently completed an article about the January 11, 1863 battle betweeen USS Hatteras and CSS Alabama off Galveston. The article has been published in the new edition of the Civil War Monitor magazine (a fantastic magazine, by the way). Andy did some illustrations of the battle that are really great. Andy has a blog http://deadconfederates.com/
On his blog are instructions that for a limited time will let you see our article and the rest of the magazine for free. Check it out.
