William Howard Russell (1820 1907) was a nineteenth-century war
correspondent for The Times. In 1861 2 he visited America to report
on the secession crisis that had followed Abraham Lincoln's
campaign to abolish slavery, in which eleven southern states had
withdrawn from the United States to form their own confederacy,
resulting in the American Civil War. First published in 1863, this
two-volume work recounts Russell's experiences there. Based on his
interviews with Lincoln, other pivotal figures, and ordinary
citizens, together with his diaries and his letters to The Times,
it documents his impressions of both the northern and the opposing
southern states as he travelled through them. His book, thought to
have been compiled in response to accusations that he was biased
towards the South, provides a revealing eyewitness account of life
during a landmark period in America's history. Volume 2 focuses on
the horrors of the unfolding war.
