"Some twenty years after the end of the Civil War, the editors of the Century magazine began to publish accounts of the battles of that war written by the leaders on both sides who had planned the campaigns and by other eyewitnesses. These articles, later collected and published in four volumes, became the fountainhead of authentic source material n the War Between the States as it was fought on land and on sea and along the vital waterways. From Sumter to Shiloh is the popular edition of the first volume of the monumental Battles and Leaders of the Civil War. Containing the entire text as well as all the illustrations of Volume I in the original set, it makes available for the first time at a popular price the complete, dramatic story of the opening stages of the war. There is, in addition, a new Introduction by Roy F. Nichols, a Pulitzer Award winning historian, who traces the publishing history of Battles and Leaders of the Civil War, evaluates the importance of this work to the contemporary reader, and provides an enlightening insight into the causes of a conflict that almost destroyed the nation. In From Sumter to Shiloh, the reader is given an incomparable view of the initial events of the war in exciting, authoritative articles written by such eminent military leaders as Ulysses S. Grant, Lew Wallace, G.T. Beauregard, Abner Doubleday, John C. Fremont, Don Carlos Buell, and A.E. Burnside, among others. And, of course, as an essential complement to these eyewitness accounts, there are over four hundred illustrations, including steel engravings, maps, rare photographs, portraits, prints, and on-the-spot battle sketches, which bring once more to life all the storm and stress of combat. From the ominous calm preceding the outbreak of hostilities, to the first shell bursting over Fort Sumter, through the feverish preparations as both North and South built up their forces, and on to the great campaigns, sieges, and battles (First Bull Run, Lexington, Fort Donelson, Shiloh, the flaming encounter between the Monitor and the Merrimac), this volume recreates in detail all the tragedy, heroism, courage, and despair of the first twelve months of conflict. Of immense importance as a primary source in American history, From Sumter to Shiloh is a magnificent "curtain raiser" to the greatest work dealing with the Civil War. It is a thrilling and inspiring book, an unsurpassed record of two vast armies - each composed of Americans - pitted against each other in a desperate, unrelenting struggle." - from the inner front and rear jacket flaps. …
