Description: This book tells the true story of John Yates Beall, a young man from Virginia, who joined the Confederate army during the American Civil War and eventually became a privateer on the Chesapeake Bay. Beall's daring raids, which included capturing ships and destroying Union property, made him a target of the Federal government, and he was eventually captured and imprisoned. The book delves into Beall's motivations, his experiences as a prisoner of war, and his eventual execution, offering a nuanced portrait of a complex and controversial figure. Through Beall's story, the book sheds light on the broader themes of honor, duty, and the human cost of war.
