The Last Shot by Lynn Schooler In June 1865, a Confederate raider's final act of war had far-reaching consequences for the whaling industry and global shipping. The Shenandoah's attack on a fleet of New England whalers off Alaska's Little Diomede Island resulted in the destruction of over two dozen ships. This account of one of America's most astonishing events is based on meticulous research, offering a gripping narrative of naval history. Lynn Schooler re-creates the drama and devastation of this pivotal moment in American military history. The Last Shot provides a detailed and compelling exploration of a significant event that shaped the course of global trade for decades to come.
