Captain John Clibbon Brain of the Confederate States Navy launched himself into the American Civil War with a verve and gusto which belied his origins in a Gloucestershire village in peaceful, rural England. At the beginning of the war he emigrated to the United States and enthusiastically took up a military career. He was soon transferred to the Confederate Navy where his recklessness and bravado ensured his success as a privateer.
