TOM HENDERSON WELLS (1917-1971) served more than twenty-five years in the Navy and received the Bronze Star in the Korean War. He is the author of numerous books including Commodore Moore and the Texas Navy and The Confederate Navy: A Study in Organization.
[A] valuable addition to the scholarly literature dealing with the
illegal slave trade under the American flag.--Journal of American
History
Perhaps the most important contribution which Professor Wells makes
is the light he sheds on the spirit of the times during years when,
despite lack of strong public support for reviving the slave trade,
public prosecutors, marshals, judges, and private individuals felt
that militant loyalty to their section demanded their defiance of
the laws. . . . This monograph is an interesting addition to the
slim biography of the slave trade.--Journal of Southern History
Wells tells his fascinating story well.--American Historical Review
