The Genesis of the Civil War : The Story of Sumter (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Genesis of the Civil War: The Story of SumterI was one of the few medical men in the vicinity. This brought me into friendly and rather close relations with the com munity. T hus my being hurried away from Newport was turned to great account. This accident and sudden transfer to Fort Moultrie gave mea favorable opportunity of noting, studying and commenting upon the social and political phases of the secession movement, just as it began to take shape immediately after Mr. Lincoln's election.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
