\nOne of only three known diaries of African American sailors from the Civil War, it records Gould\u2019s activity as part of the North Atlantic Blockading Squadron off the coast of North Carolina and Virginia; his visits to New York and Boston; the pursuit to Nova Scotia of a hijacked Confederate cruiser; and his service in European waters pursuing a Confederate ship constructed in Great Britain and France.
\nIn the fall of 2002, Gould joined the faculty of Willamette College of Law as the William M. Ramsey Distinguished Professor of Law. Before joining Willamette, he was the Charles A. Beardsley Professor of Law at Stanford University.\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
