About the author

Albert M. Goodrich, listed in library and archive records as Albert Moses Goodrich (1860– ), is the author of Cruise and Captures of the Alabama, published in 1906. The book follows the career of the Confederate warship CSS Alabama and reflects a strong interest in maritime action and Civil War history.

Because confirmed biographical information about him is limited in the sources available here, much of his public footprint today comes through library catalogs and digitized editions rather than detailed modern biographies. His work has been preserved by projects such as Internet Archive and Project Gutenberg, which has helped keep his writing accessible to new generations of readers.

A memorial page also identifies an Albert M. Goodrich and includes an image, but the broader details of his life are not well documented in the material I could confirm. What stands out most clearly is the lasting afterlife of his book: more than a century later, it remains available as part of the public-domain record of Civil War writing.
