An account of two of the great battles of the Civil War
The author of this book was present at-indeed he was literally the
target of-the firing of the first hostile shots of the American
Civil War. As a regular U. S. Army officer of artillery he was
stationed at Forts Moultrie and Sumter as the political disputes
between the Northern and Southern states exploded into armed
conflict. He has left us, in another book, a memorable account from
the sharp end of those momentous events which is also available
from Leonaur. Doubleday was in an ideal position to view the events
described in this book. He knew President Lincoln and leading
members of the government, but also as a career soldier he
personally knew the principal military figures on both sides of
battlefield. Doubleday has written an absorbing account of the
campaign from a position of authority and experience which is an
essential source work for anyone interested in the period.
Available in soft cover and cloth bound hard cover with dust
jacket, head and tail bands and gold foil embossed spine lettering.
