Grant, Robert E. Lee, Abraham Lincoln, & more: After the passing of more than 160 years the Civil War remains our greatest national drama, at once heroic, tragic, & epic--our Iliad but also our Bible, a story of sin & judgment, suffering & despair, death & resurrection in a "new birth of freedom." Drawn from letters, diaries, speeches, articles, poems, songs, military reports, legal opinions, & memoirs, "The Civil War: The First Year" gathers more than 120 pieces by more than 60 participants to create a unique firsthand narrative of this great historical crisis. Beginning on the eve of Lincoln's election in November 1860 & ending in January 1862 w/ the appointment of Edwin M. Stanton as secretary of war, this volume presents writing by figures well-known?Ulysses S. Grant, Robert E. Lee, Mary Chesnut, Frederick Douglass, & Lincoln himself among them?& less familiar, like pro-slavery advocate J.D.B. DeBow, Lieutenants Charles B. Haydon of the 2nd Michigan Infantry & Henry Livermore Abbott of the 20th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry Regiment, & plantation mistresses Catherine Edmondston of North Carolina & Kate Stone of Mississippi. Together, the selections provide a powerful sense of the immediacy, uncertainty, & urgency of events as the nation was torn asunder.
