Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is the author's account of the Civil War in verse, beginning before the battle of Fort Sumter and ending with the aftermath of the First Battle of Manassas in Virginia, more commonly known as the Battle of Bull Run. The author was a Southern sympathizer, and their account is written from the perspective of a Confederate supporter throughout, from the election of Lincoln to the battle where the Union's 'Grand Army' led by General Scott was defeated by the troops of Beauregard and Johnston, ending in a pell-mell rout. The campaign is described in great detail, from the initial attempt to cross Bull Run, to the eventual retreat of the Union Army towards Washington after nightfall. Confederate leaders such as Beauregard and Johnston are praised, while Lincoln and his supporters are criticized. The text is highly evocative of the passion and turmoil of the time, described as being full of hope, emblazoned with arrogance, notwithstanding his numerous defeats.Hark! there's a sudden boom- the night air quakes, the sleeper, wondering on his couch, awakes.
