Visitor Kenny and C.B. Glover of the McLaws Camp visit with Charles DuBose and
Sparks Ramey of the Longstreet Camp of south Fulton; Mr. Chrles DuBose, and Glover
are retired from the U.S. Navy; Mr. Ramey is a retiree from the U.S. Coast Guard.
DuBose and Ramey presented a program on the C.S.S. Jackson (built in Columbus, Ga.)
and the famous C.S.S. Alabama. The Alabama was and is the most successful merchant
raider in American naval history, capturing, sinking, or bonding 65 Union merchant
vessels. In addition, the Alabama sank one U.S. Navy warship in combat before
eventually being sunk herself after battle off the coast of France in 1864.

Out going Commander, Scott Gilbert, was given honors for his long and dedicated service to the camp and preserving our Confederate history.
