Sullivan, author of the United States Marine Corps in the Civil War series, writes: "A Civil War Marine at Sea provides an insightful day-to-day account of the wartime experiences of a young Marine from rural New York. A rare look into the life of the sea soldier of the Civil War, Mils Oviatt’s diary, adroitly edited by his great-granddaughter Mary P. Livingston, adds a new dimension to the war at sea. Covering the gamut between the daily drudgery of life aboard U.S.S. Vanderbilt during her fruitless search for C.S.S. Alabama, to vortex of battle on the gun deck of U.S.S. Brooklyn at Mobile Bay and Fort Fisher, this book is a must read for scholar, student, or buff."
