Officers Held as
Hostages for the Privateers Taken Aboard the Savannah As Colonel Michael Corcoran was held as hostage for
Walter W. Smith, prize-master of the schooner Enchantress, who
was convicted of piracy in the United States Court in October, 1861, so
the officers shown on this page, were held as hostages for the
privateers taken aboard the Savannah. They were to receive
exactly the same treatment as that meted out to the privateers. General
Neff was lieutenant-colonel of the Second Kentucky at that time, General
Revere major of the Twentieth Massachusetts, General Vogdes a major in
the regular artillery, and General Lee was colonel of the Twentieth
Massachusetts. |

This online edition of The Photographic
History of the Civil War includes improved images using digital images
from the Library of Congress, when available. It also includes additional
images that are either cropped from the Library of Congress digital images
or are related to the specific topic being discussed in the article or page.
Volume 7 of the History is the first
volume I'm publishing online simply because it was the one I was interested
in when I decided to publish.
More to come, I hope.
