A famous American writer's view of the Civil War
Charles Carleton Coffin is now recognised as one the important
journalists, authors and polititicians of the American nation. At
the time of the Civil War he was working for the Boston Journal and
was already an experienced correspondent. Writing under the
pen-name of 'Carleton' he witnessed virtually every campaign from
the Battle of the Wilderness to the fall of Richmond. Prior to his
journalistic career he worked as a civil engineer and regularly
assisted the Federal military in the field in that capacity. In
this book the reader benefits from a view of the Civil War as seen
by an expert observer and translated into words by an accomplished
wordsmith. This is a perfect book for those who enjoy journalism
and Civil War history. Coffin takes the reader to the battle of
Bull Run, action at Forts Henry and Donelson, Pittsburg Landing,
operations at New Madrid and Island Number Ten culminating in the
fighting around Memphis. A worthwhile addition to every library of
the American Civil War.
