WINSLOW, JOHN A.
(1811 - 1873) Union naval officer and captain of the "Kearsarge", he was active against Confederate blockade runners, most notably in his battle against Raphael Semmes' "Alabama". Nice signature "Jno. A. Winslow", adding rank as commodore, removed from document. Interestingly, Winslow was promoted commodore to rate from the day his ship sank the Alabama. Minor toning, else very good.
